William Russell enters second quarter century
Second quarter century

Founded by Inez and James Cooper in 1992, William Russell has grown over the last 28 years from a family-run business to a leading supplier of international life, health and income cover, offering plans across the world and serving customers in over 160 countries.

Committed international partnerships

Our global insurance plans are backed by Allianz, a globally recognised household insurance name, with our head office based in Surrey, United Kingdom.

From our UK based head offices, we manage policies for customers in over 160 countries worldwide and through our local on-shore teams based in Dubai, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Jakarta we support customers with plans and policies delivered in partnership with our international fronting partners:

·       Hong Kong, Sompo Insurance (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd
·       Dubai & UAE, Dubai Insurance Company psc.

 

As we enter our second quarter century, we are doubling our dedicated onshore support through the launch of two new partnerships:

 

·       Indonesia, PT Lippo General Insurance Tbk
·       Thailand, Thaivivat Insurance PCL

 

We are excited to extend our ethos of personal service through these dedicated channels. Combining William Russell’s 28+ years of experience with the expertise of local insurers, we can now reach more customers and deliver competitive IPMI health and protection insurance products that are tailored to the needs of expats and local nationals.

With more fronting partnerships in development for the next few years, William Russell is growing its local capability alongside its global reach.

Personal service

What sets us apart is our personal touch. We believe in named advisers not impersonal call centres, and straight, honest communication rather than pages of small print. We are a boutique insurance provider, fully independent, and free from the demands of shareholders or investors. Our only obligation is to you.

We know your challenges, understand your needs, and share your vision. That’s the William Russell difference.
