Drewberry

What Drewberry does

Drewberry is a UK-based independent insurance intermediary and employee benefits consultancy operating as a trading name of Brown & Brown Health and Employee Benefits Ltd, a subsidiary of US-listed insurance brokerage conglomerate Brown & Brown. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in London with a secondary office in Brighton, the company serves two principal customer cohorts: individual consumers seeking personal protection products (income protection, life, critical illness, and private health insurance), and UK employers — from SMBs to larger enterprises — seeking group benefits packages, workplace pensions, salary sacrifice schemes, and benefits administration. Drewberry is FCA-authorised (FCA Number 312878) and reports placing over £1 billion of risk with insurers annually, supported by 11-50 employees and a 4.92/5 client rating across 4,133+ independent reviews.

The company's product and technology surface centres on the My.Drewberry platform, a digital portal for employees to view, choose, and manage benefits, supported by online quote tools (instant quotes across the four core personal lines) and a Total Reward Statements platform for employers. Business protection offerings — keyman, shareholder protection, business loan, and relevant life insurance — round out the commercial portfolio. Underlying technology is functional rather than differentiated: the platform is positioned on ease-of-use and implementation rather than proprietary algorithms or AI-driven capabilities, and no API, SDK, or AI modality is publicly disclosed.

Revenue is generated primarily through insurance brokerage commissions from placing client risk with leading UK insurers (Aviva, AXA Health, Bupa, Vitality and others), supplemented by professional services income from employee benefits consulting. A secondary recurring revenue stream comes from tiered benchmarking subscriptions (Essentials at £500/year, Tailored at £1,750/year, Bespoke on hourly minimums), positioned as a thought-leadership funnel. The go-to-market is sales-led with hybrid digital self-serve (instant online quotes and calculators) and human-adviser distribution via dedicated specialists, free initial consultations, and annual policy reviews. The UK is the sole operating geography, and no mobile applications or public API surface are exposed.
