Introduction and Brief History

China Insurance Company (UK) Ltd was registered in 1983, approved and licensed by the Department of Trade and Industry in time to begin underwriting on 1st October 1985, from which time it has also been a member of Association of British Insurers.

Originally a joint venture between The People's Insurance Company of China and Bank of China, it has since been 100% owned by China Insurance (Holdings) Co. Ltd.

Authorised to transact most classes of fire, accident, liabilities, marine and aviation business both direct and through reinsurance, the Company has a fully paid share capital of £15m. Currently assets under management exceed £50m with more than 40% of this figure attributable to shareholders. Our current level of annual income at nearly £16m (all underwritten within the UK), provides the Company with a very solid base for it's future development and a substantial margin over the minimum solvency requirement under the Insurance Companies Acts.

We have developed a strong network of brokers and agents throughout the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland and also transact business direct with the public particularly among the Chinese Community.
