Company Profile

  • Business description

    Aviva is a multiline insurer listed on the London Stock Exchange. The company traces its roots back to the 17th century with the establishment of Hand in Hand. After the Great Fire of London, this mutual was formed to provide protection against fires. Hand in Hand was then acquired in 1905 by Commercial Union. Over the years, Hand in Hand insured London landmarks such as London Bridge, the British Museum, and Lambeth Palace. The life insurance part of Aviva began in the early part of the 18th century with the establishment of Amicable, also a mutual, but this time to protect widows and children against loss of life and loss of income.
