Business Details
We founded Graham Sykes Insurance in 1982, and for over four decades we have delivered specialist insurance solutions across the UK. Our founder, Graham Sykes, identified a gap in the market for tailored policies for enthusiasts and collectors, and we have since built our expertise around that insight. We specialise in classic, modified, kit, exmilitary and American cars, as well as event, festival, amateur theatre and stallholder insurance. Our team, based in Exmouth, Devon, brings together many years of combined experience to assess risk and craft appropriate cover. We negotiate specialist facilities with underwriters to ensure that niche customer needs are met where standard products fall short. In addition to our motor and event offerings, we provide personal and commercial lines such as household, travel, trade and commercial property insurance.
We maintain a customercentric approach, prioritising personalised service and expert advice for every policyholder. While we embrace technological advancements to improve efficiency, we ensure that these tools complement, rather than replace, our personal touch. Our commitment to professional standards is reflected in our authorisation and regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority under Firm Reference Number 300310. We strive for transparency, clearly explaining policy terms and conditions so clients can make informed decisions. Over the years we have built longterm relationships with customers, a testament to our reliability and dedication to client satisfaction.
