Cirencester Friendly was established in 1890 in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Primarily formed for the benefit of local agricultural workers based in Gloucestershire, today the Society caters for the income protection needs of over 44,000 Members from all walks of life across the UK.
Cirencester Friendly’s Income Assured Enhanced contract follows the traditional ‘Holloway principle’ first introduced by leading industrialist George Holloway in the late 19th Century.
My Earnings Protected, the Society’s pure income protection contract is available through financial advisers as well as mortgage and general insurance brokers. Alongside our income protection contracts, the Society offers a range of enhancements, My Extra Benefits.
As a mutual this means we have no issued share capital quoted on a stock exchange and are owned by Members who hold a contract, not by shareholders. In keeping with our mutual approach, we’re not only there when Members need us most, but also go above and beyond to ensure that our contracts deliver more than just a contractual financial pay-out.
With this in mind, the Society offers Members a suite of discretionary value-added benefits at no extra cost, focusing on support & wellbeing and perks & lifestyle.
Here are just some of our achievements:
