Simon can discuss coronavirus / Covid-19 in terms of whether people are insured and if so how.

SJL Insurance works with clients directly, and as a wholesale insurance broker. They started as a wholesale scheme broker and transact business via a growing network of over 1100 FCA regulated independent insurance brokers across the whole of the UK. All of these brokers are personally visited by SJL Insurance before they are granted access.

With access to Lloyds of London and the UK’s leading composite insurance market, SJL are able to source and place a vast range of comprehensive insurance products at market leading prices.

In 2019, Simon established the SJL Foundation in order to help the young and/or less well-off to set up their own companies.
