About Us

Who We Are

Vineyard Protect is part of Ascend Broking Group, a growing, modern, forward-thinking Essex insurance broker with a wealth of experience in the insurance market.

Our Mission

To provide quality, exceptional service, never losing sight of the fact that providing value for money is essential.

Our Vision

Our vision is to bring you a true partnership with your insurer, with mutual commitments on service, competitiveness and innovation.

Company Overview

We have developed an enviable reputation in both the regional and London market over the past 25 years. Insurance, like most businesses, is still best conducted through relationships. Simply, the best deals are still done face-to-face and this plays to our strengths. Insurers respond positively to our high-quality market presentations and professional approach.

We only deal with insurers who are competitive, innovative, supportive and financially secure, and can supply the covers and the claims service we demand.

Our face-to-face consultancy service is at the forefront of our offering, but – should you require – you can contact a 24/7 account executive including evenings/weekends or alternatively call the office 9:00am – 5:00pm where you can test our 2-ring answering policy.
