About Us

For over 135 years, we‘ve provided specialist insurance backed by in-house underwriting, claims and risk management teams who have a best-in-class reputation for providing specialist expertise, guidance and support.

Originally founded in 1887 as the Ecclesiastical Buildings Fire Office to protect Anglican churches and church buildings against the risk of fire, the name Ecclesiastical has stayed with us as we’ve grown.

Today we offer insurance across a broad range of specialisms, including faith, charity, heritage, education and real estate across Ireland, Canada and the UK.

We are proud to be part of the Benefact Group – a charity owned, international family of financial services companies that exist to donate available profits to good causes. We’re built on the idea that better business, can better lives.

Each business in our group is a specialist in its field and we’re united by a shared ambition to have a lasting positive impact on the communities we support.

As businesses we are distinct, and when we come together as a group, we are stronger. By doing business and working with us, our customers, clients and partners make a vital contribution to transforming lives and communities.

And together, we are building a Movement for Good.
