Our UK heritage
We launched Intact Insurance in the UK in 2025, but our UK heritage stretches all the way back to 1710.
It’s the story of one of the world’s longest-serving general insurance companies and part of who we are today.
Where it all began
More than 300 years ago, British entrepreneur Charles Povey founded the Sun Fire Office, one of the world’s first fire insurance companies.
What began as a pioneering venture later grew into a diverse, global insurance provider.
Though its name would change over the centuries, its purpose would stay the same. It helped people protect what mattered to them.
Today, that purpose lives on in Intact Insurance’s founding principle. We help people, businesses and society prosper in good times and be resilient in bad times.
