LifeSearch was conceived when rain stopped play during a game of cricket and two men talked. One talked about the benefits of life protection; the other agreed to buy his policy, which covered disability and death. Within two years, the buyer needed to make a claim. It was a small grace for a family at a terrible time. For the salesman, now LifeSearch CEO Tom Baigrie, it was the most worthwhile piece of work he'd ever done. Tom went on to build a business that would offer the right cover from the right provider. Since being founded, Leeds-based LifeSearch has arranged over 650,000 policies, working with every major UK insurer. Now the biggest life-insurance advisor in the UK, LifeSearch employs over 450 LifeSearchers across three UK offices and has built a workplace culture based on five values: care, tolerance, honesty, excellence and openness.
