Clear Councils: Forming a new partnership with Ecclesiastical Insurance

Author: Lee Cleaver, client account executive at Clear Councils Insurance


At Clear Councils, we are devoted to providing guidance and insurance solutions that fit parish and town council requirements. We also understand that councils face increasing challenges—as such, we need to adapt and grow alongside them. Part of this process involves reviewing our current offering and exploring new opportunities that will help us better support our clients.

Introducing our partnership with Ecclesiastical

We are proud to announce our partnership with Ecclesiastical, a specialist insurer and member of the Benefact Group that donates its profit to charities and other good causes.

As a fellow people-first business, Ecclesiastical's values align with our own, and we are excited to be taking this next step in our journey with a like-minded, passionate team. This partnership not only adheres to our shared vision but strives to establish a modern, fresh policy wording fit for parish or town council insurance requirements.

Why are we changing?

We appreciate that the scale of risks and demands on parish and town councils are ever-changing. This new partnership will provide the support and coverage you need for the unique demands parish and town councils face.

What does this mean for existing clients?

All existing clients have received communications with the necessary details. Please note that nothing will change until your next renewal date.

What does the partnership mean to us?

Philip Williams, chief operating officer for The Clear Group: "Aligned in our people first cultures, the choice to partner with Ecclesiastical felt natural. We are passionate and proud to be supporting parish and town councils and Ccharities across the nation, and this relationship will see us go from strength to strength alongside a team of like-minded individuals."

Chris Withers, schemes and partnerships director at Ecclesiastical Insurance: "I'm really pleased Clear Councils chose to work with us. They are a great company that puts their customers first. Clear's values align with ours, too – making this an ideal partnership. We're excited to help them to enhance the service and offer they provide to parish, town councils and charities."

Jonathan Owen, chief executive at NALC: "Clear continues to maintain a strong relationship with NALC, having worked with them for several years. They continue to put their customers first, and this new partnership with Ecclesiastical, part of the Benefact Group, will only enhance the service and offering they deliver to parish and town councils."
