Heritage

Our story

At C I 4 U GB Nationwide Limited we are proud of our heritage and values. The Bond family has represented the insurance industry since 1940 when Leonard John Bond started his career working for Paladin, a syndicate at Lloyd’s of London.

It was Leonard Bond who first introduced the Protected No Claims Bonus in the 1960s and by the early 1970s he was promoted to Senior Underwriter, dealing with some of the top names in British business such as Slumberland, Sainsbury’s and Wedgwood.

Leonard Bond’s son, Gregory, worked for a London insurance company (F.A. Spiers & Co Ltd) until 1973 when they opened up a branch in Nottinghamshire to take care of the miners’ insurance needs. The company was also the official brokers for the Newsagents Federation, the Retail Confectionary Association and London Transport.

In 1984 Gregory Bond set up his own business, Bond Insurance Services, in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Bond Insurance Services soon became known locally as a trusted business, offering a reliable personal service and value for money. Mr G Bond retired in 2004, and it is now his son, Simon Bond, who has developed Bond Insurance Services into C I 4 U GB Nationwide Limited, also based in Pleasley Vale Business Park, Nottinghamshire.

Simon Bond is committed to upholding the family tradition of providing the best possible insurance cover, innovative insurance policies, and offering clients the most competitive prices. C I 4 U GB Nationwide Limited specialises in all aspects of professional and commercial insurance and provides insurance cover to a diverse range of businesses and professionals throughout the UK.

C I 4 U GB Nationwide Limited operates a family of specialist insurance websites – taking traditional broking into the 21st century with a strong online presence – while continuing to provide a personal bespoke service to our many commercial clients.
