In 1887, the 18-year-old Tommy March, son of a London Hatton Garden diamond merchant and soon-to-be founder of TH March, experienced a “eureka” moment. He realised that the jewellery trade was largely uninsured. His idea blossomed into TH March, the UK’s best-known firm of jewellery trade specialists and insurance brokers.
As an appointed broker to many leading trade organisations, including the National Association of Jewellers, the National Pawnbrokers Association, the Company of Master Jewellers and the Giftware Association, TH March has continued to follow March’s example by innovating, growing and diversifying.
TH March has extensive experience in providing insurance to retailers, designers, manufacturers, makers, collectors, repairers and wearers. It offers a wide range of commercial and personal insurance products to suit the needs and requirements of all kinds of people and organisations.
If you need insurance coverage for your business, home, life, health or any other precious possession, TH March is here to help. To learn more about the company, visit www.thmarch.co.uk.
