About Us

Bridle Insurance has a long history, and we can trace our origins back to 1969 when Joe Bridle started the business in a Lyndhurst shed deep in the New Forest, Hampshire. The company has grown steadily and is now a multi-million pound business serving customers from all corners of the British Isles.

With forty years experience as specialist brokers to the Civil Engineering, Plant and Construction industries, Bridle has developed valuable and long term relationships with most major UK Insurers operating in these sectors. These enviable partnerships allow us to access specially negotiated facilities and very advantageous rates with excellent levels of cover and security.

The success achieved in these areas has allowed us to expand into other sectors and we now have some very large accounts in food wholesale supply, shops and offices, commercial and residential property, manufacturing, fashion and reprographics. We also have a vibrant and fast growing personal lines unit which can provide surprisingly competitive quotes from a large panel of car, van, household and travel insurers.

Our fleet department are able to provide competitive rates, tailored to suit your individual requirements. We can quote for any combination of vehicles and have excellent facilities for cars, mini buses, performance vehicles, trucks and vans.

In June 2009 Bridle was purchased by CFN Insurance. The Bridle brand is retained as it is a well known and well respected name within the insurance industry and is very much trusted by our already large and fast growing client bank.

This is an exciting and busy time for us. Outstanding customer service remains a key priority. The very fact that we’re now serving second and even a few third generation clients is a testimony to the success of our approach. Our team are professional and experienced and ‘here to help’. Most Important - we have a specialist claims unit that will advise and assist you with every aspect of your claim from initial notification to final settlement.

A review of your existing arrangements will not take long and we will probably be able to save you money, without compromising either your cover or your security. So, even if your insurance is not due now please contact us and we will provide you with the best advice and a surprisingly competitive quotation.

Take the right path to Bridle Insurance.
