About esure Group
esure Group plc is a UK-focused personal lines insurer founded in 2000 by Peter Wood, the foremost general insurance entrepreneur in the UK and the Group's Chairman. The Group also owns 50 per cent of top-four UK insurance price comparison website, Gocompare.com. The Group has established a strong platform for growth and a track record of profitability. The Group has achieved this against a backdrop of challenging market conditions through a disciplined and conservative approach to its motor underwriting business, the application of the same philosophy in growing its home underwriting business, and a strong focus on generating revenues from associated activities such as the sale of additional insurance products alongside its core motor and home insurance policies and, more recently, the development of its branded broker services. These associated activities offer higher returns on capital employed and another source of cash generation that, together with the home underwriting business, are part of a wider diversification strategy aimed at reducing the Group's exposure to the cyclicality of the motor insurance market.
