'Smartbox' (for under-25s) Review | 'General' Co-op car insurance
review:
Please
note that this is our Co-op car insurance review. If you want to
review current Co-op car insurance policy features, please use our
'Coop Car Insurance' link above.
The Co-operative Insurance Company, previously known as the
Co-operative Insurance Society (CIS), was founded in 1867. It was first
formed to provide fire insurance for Co-op Societies and, as this
review outlines, it has come a long way since that time.
The Co-operative Financial Services (CFS) group was formed as a holding
company for both the then Co-operative Insurance Society (CIS) and the
Co-operative Bank in 2002. Their banking operation included Smile, the UK's first full internet
bank.
A review of the strength and public awareness of the Co-op brand led to
the Co-operative Group bringing all of its operations under the same
well-known and easily recognisable Co-operative brand. The CIS was
therefore renamed as The Co-operative Insurance from April 2008.
The Co-op car insurance head office is in Miller Street in the centre
of Manchester, a well-known landmark building which, when it was built
in 1962, was the tallest building in the whole of Europe, rising to 387
feet. Since 2006, though, the Beetham Tower has been Manchester's
tallest building.
As a major insurer, the Co-op insurance, that includes its car
insurance operation, has a turnover of £3.5bn.
The Co-op brand and it members have a distinct philosophy and culture.
The Co‑op is run not to maximise profits for their shareholders, but to
provide value to all their members at local level. Because they invest
in local communities, this gives them their unique character and
effects their priorities which, historically, have included football
sponsorship.
The above Coop car insurance review, although believed to be correct,
does not take account of any changes that may have occured since the
review was written.
