I have used William Russell for my overseas medical insurance on and off for about 6 years and always found the staff to be very frindly, helpful and always quick with any response.

Service and attention to detail has always been 1st class. During my illness in early 2020 nothing was too difficult and was always handled with due care and attention to detail.

William Russell is not a person; it’s a team of people. When Inez Cooper founded William Russell in 1992, she gave the company a man’s name because, then, insurance was a man’s world. Things are changing, but William Russell remains a special case. We’re proud to say we’re a female-powered organisation.
