Founder of Illingworths

Jack Illingworth founded the company in York in 1973 and over the years the company has grown in both our knowledge and experience as Independent Insurance Brokers and Financial Advisers.

The business has thrived by providing excellent customer service and having friendly staff who are experts in their field. Many of our new customers come to us through recommendation, a testament to our commitment to ensuring our clients receive the best service we can provide.

In 2010 we moved to our new offices at the top of York’s most famous street ‘The Shambles’ in the city’s historic heart and within a 5 minute walk of the Minster. We hope our 50 year presence in the city reassures our clients that we will be here to offer help and advice when we are needed most.
