Who We Are

Together we are
BDH Group

BDH Group was established in 2023 in response to the fast-evolving and consolidating insurance market. Recognising a gap for a client-centric broker group on a national scale, BDH Group seized the opportunity to unite a range of specialised insurance brokers. Together, we deliver tailored solutions, service excellence, expert advice, and sustainable growth, whilst giving clients the peace of mind that they are suitably protected. All driven by one clear, compelling belief: true strength is built through collaboration.

Although we’re a top 50 insurance broker, we’re at the start of our journey to building a dynamic network of specialist insurance experts, who are successfully bridging the gap between the capabilities of large entities and the personalised service of independent brokers.

We’re backed by Blixt Group, a strong private equity firm, and also benefit from being part of the WTW Networks which provides access to specialist, bespoke insurance solutions for clients with larger, complex or global risks.

Our model is the collaborative alternative, designed to unlock much more. It's our unwavering belief that by uniting, we amplify capability, broaden horizons, and create unmatched value. Whether it’s providing a more client-centric service for our clients, streamlined processes, greater opportunities for our teams, more certainty or growth for our partners, BDH Group is committed to delivering beyond expectations.

Our purpose

We’re here to protect what matters most for our clients and partners by working together with heart, agility and genuine care. Guided by fresh thinking and an entrepreneurial spirit, we provide real support when it matters most.

We believe that when people feel protected and supported, they can move forward with confidence – in life, in business, and in the moments that matter.

Across our group companies, our insurance experts take pride in being a supportive, knowledgeable team that truly understand our clients’ needs. From first contact through to the lifetime of a policy, we offer tailored advice and ongoing support, ensuring peace of mind every step of the way.

Our vision

Our shared vision is to deliver industry-leading service, trusted expertise, and sustainable growth, whilst giving our clients confidence that they’re suitably protected.

Our goal is to become a top 20 UK broker, recognised as the go-to partner for high-quality insurance businesses across the UK. We’ll achieve this by embracing innovation, staying ahead of evolving client needs and building a culture where great people thrive.

Our mission

We bring our vision to life by keeping things fair, straightforward, and personal. We build lasting partnerships with clients and colleagues alike and create a positive, empowering environment where our people can thrive.

At every stage we are guided by strong values and ethical principles to deliver solutions with integrity, clarity and care.
