Staysure.co.uk Ltd was formed by Ryan Howsam in 2004 to provide the UK’s growing number of over 50s with comprehensive reasonably priced insurance, initially concentrating on specialist travel insurance.
Today with the help of a management team boasting over 50 years collective industry experience, the company offers an impressive repertoire of high quality insurance products (travel, home, holiday home, private health and car), uneral plans, travel and cruise holidays, an over 50s property portal and a suite of expat products for people living outside of the UK, plus a reputation in the UK as ‘the over 50s experts’.
In 2009, in response to the growing demand for English products amongst expats living on the continent, Staysure expanded into Europe. Staysure is currently the only company providing expats in Europe with specialist over 50s insurance products, allowing overseas clients access to the same calibre products and service already enjoyed in the UK. It is our aim to become a one-stop-shop for all insurance, travel and over 50s lifestyle products both at home and overseas.
