Who we are Scrutton Bland is a leading Financial Services Group providing accountancy, tax, insurance broking and independent financial planning services to both business and private clients. Our philosophy is to offer clear, professional advice and to find the most effective solution to meet the needs of each individual client.

What makes us different? In an increasingly uniform world, we believe that it is our people who let us stand out from the crowd. Our dedicated teams of insurance specialists are committed to providing tailored and individual advice and will always take the time to understand the needs and expectations of every client. We believe in taking a fresh approach and encourage our teams to look at things differently by challenging convention in order to achieve the right outcome.

Local service, international reach We are proud of our heritage and can trace our roots back to 1887 with the founding of Bland & Son Insurance Agency in Colchester. We work with organisations of all sizes and across all industries, looking after clients throughout East Anglia and the UK. From fledgling companies just starting out to established businesses, we take a long view on our client relationships and it is our philosophy to support businesses at all stages of their lifecycle. We are committed to maintaining a personal approach to our client service and combine this with a truly modern approach, regularly advising clients on issues such as cyber risk and protecting against fraud through to online cloud based accounting services.

The best of both worlds Scrutton Bland Limited is part of the Willis Towers Watson Commercial Network, an association of independent insurance brokers. Being part of this network allows us to operate independently, whilst at the same time giving us access to the exclusive underwriting facilities and insurer relationships which come with partnering with one of the World’s largest insurance brokers. We are also members of Nexia International a leading global network of independent accounting and consulting firms, meaning we can support clients with interests outside of the UK.

“We are proud of our heritage in the East of England and can trace our roots back to 1887”

Building a future together Like many businesses we are evolving. We continue to take on more specialist staff and are constantly developing new services and propositions for our clients. We understand that no business ever stays the same, that is why we regularly work with our clients to assess and predict their future financial planning and insurance needs ensuring that they have the right cover in place when they need it. It’s not all about business One of our core values is a commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and to working with charities and arts groups through volunteering, fundraising and sponsorship activities. We understand the importance of sustainability not only for our own business, but also for the communities within which we all live and work.

What you can expect from us Every client of Scrutton Bland has access to a wealth of additional services such as our Knowledge Academy. Offering a free programme of training events and seminars, the Scrutton Bland Knowledge Academy was designed to provide clients with useful insights and training around managing risk and accounting best practices. We believe that people make the difference, in addition to your personal account manager we will provide you with a second point of contact so that you can be sure of always being able to speak to someone.
