About Umbrella Protect

Insurance should feel reassuring before you need it.

We started Umbrella Protect around one simple idea: people deserve cover they can understand and support they can count on.

Our story

Founded in Manchester in 2018, Umbrella Protect brings policy design, technology and claims expertise together under one roof. We focus on the moments customers care about: choosing the right cover, making changes easily and getting practical help after a loss.

Our team serves households across the UK through a blend of digital tools and human support.
