Who We Are
Founded in the mid-1920s, Rowlands & Hames has grown into a well-established, independently owned insurance brokerage. We operate from offices in Blackpool, Preston & South Ribble, and the Ribble Valley, supporting clients across Lancashire, Cumbria, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, Yorkshire and the wider UK.
Our approach is relationship-driven, focused on understanding each client’s risk profile and long-term objectives.
What We Do
We arrange insurance solutions across a broad range of commercial and private client needs, including specialist and complex risks. Our advice is tailored to individual circumstances and supported by access to a wide panel of insurers and markets.
Our services include general insurance, specialist risk placement and personal protection, delivered through dedicated teams with sector-specific knowledge and experience.
Chartered Status and Professional Standards
Rowlands & Hames holds the prestigious Chartered Insurance Broker designation awarded by the Chartered Insurance Institute.
This status recognises high professional standards, technical competence and a commitment to ethical conduct.
As a Chartered firm, we invest in professional development and governance to ensure clients receive informed, impartial and compliant advice.
Who We Work With
We advise a diverse range of clients, from owner-managed businesses and corporate organisations to high-net-worth individuals requiring tailored insurance solutions.
Each client benefits from a dedicated service approach designed to support effective risk management rather than transactional insurance placement.
Growth and Continuity
In July 2023, Rowlands & Hames welcomed Hargreaves Perkins Insurance Brokers into the group. This integration strengthened our regional presence while maintaining continuity of service, shared values and professional standards.
