Working as Head of Sales at a major Insurer, one of our Founders, John Warburton noted that something wasn’t right in the corporate work of Insurance. John proceeded to pursue an idea around an employee-centric model, researching technological innovation as a driver.
Introduced through a mutual friend, John met Peter Henderson, who became our technology driven co-founder. With over 20 years of experience in tech driven platforms, Peter was previously heavily involved in the early delivery of websites for the likes of British Airways and the BBC, alongside running his own company delivering management information systems for SMEs.
John and Peter quickly realised that their thoughts were aligned and so together they built a concept for what would become, Konsileo. Their aim was to create a pathway back to meaningful work and insurance broking, which was enhanced by insight and driven by technology. The concept of Konsileo was born.
After a year of building, testing, and implementing modern technology – the beta launch of an innovative new broking platform built by the duo was tested by a partner broker. It proved to be a success, saving brokers up to 60% of time usually spent on admin and compliance and giving them more time to focus on building relationships with their clients and doing their job, properly.
Having proved the success of the broking platform, Konsileo push forward, becoming FCA regulated. The in-house product development also continues to move at a rapid pace as developers and central team members were brought on board.
During the early months of 2018, the next important steps in growth begin and the first two Konsileo Client Directors were employed.
Konsileo’s very own ‘Riskube’ was released – a custom insurance management system. We become one of the only commercial insurance brokers in the UK to have its own online Insurance and Risk Management service for clients. With a growing team of brokers, Konsileo reach a total of 1,000 clients with 1322 active policies.
We continued to employ brokers and trade as normal throughout the multiple lockdowns, further proving the resilience within the Konsileo culture and business model. We are also very proud to win ‘Employer of the year 2020’ at the British Insurance Awards.
During 2020 we developed a completely virtual induction which introduces our cohorts to our culture and systems and allows them to get to know each other and the existing team. Through 2021 we refined our virtual induction, and we now deliver it in 4 weeks, easing the new joins into self-management.
By the end of 2021, we continued our steep growth and increased the number of brokers from 22 to 50 – a growth of 127%. Our central team also grows from 11 to 17 in these 12 months and we are also shortlisted for Employer of the Year for a second time.
In May 2022 we were awarded Chartered Insurance Broker Status and attended the Manchester BIBA conference in force to celebrate!
In April 2022 we were proudly awarded the 'Modern Work Award' in the Modern Work Performer category, which aims to showcase modern working practices around the world.
Another award! In September 2022 we were awarded Employer of the Year 2022 at the British Insurance Awards for the second time. We were also recognised by Industry experts and received a highly commended for Commercial Lines Broker of the Year at Insurance Age Awards. It was during this year that almost £5 million of investment was secured and growth continued.
By mid-October, Konsileo brokers had a total of 4,000 clients with 6847 active policies, showing excellent growth in multiple policies with our loyal clients.
Still fully immersed in product development and the continual enhancement of our platform, the 50th edition of our technology broking platform was released. More efficient and autonomous than ever.

Our Promise To You:

Our Story 

Konsileo was founded back in 2015 and built on principles that our CEO and co-founder John Warburton studied and researched during his master’s at LSE (?). John researched organisations and, more specifically, the Teal way of working. Championing self-management, wholeness, collective intelligence, and flexibility, John realised the future of insurance was Teal. Having worked in the insurance industry previously, he understood the frustrations of not being able to do right by the client due to targets, the intense corporate hierarchy, and the amount of duplicate tasks and forms and paperwork that could easily be streamlined. 

Konsileo was born. Alongside our other co-founder Peter Henderson, the two developed an in-house risk management system called Riskube (link) that enabled brokers and their clients to manage policies and claims all within the same space, saving countless hours of admin. Not only that, but they removed the management structure and the need for an in-person office. There was also no restriction on where the brokers could place their business; if you’ve got the contact, you can use it. Leaving the first few brokers to their trustworthy devices, Konsileo started to grow. Starting with just three Client Directors in 2017, we now have over 70 team members and are growing fast.  

Our Teal organisation operates without management hierarchies and we have removed any of the traditional management strategies themselves, such as monthly and quarterly targets.  We focus instead on self-managed teams, intuitive reasoning, and decentralised decision-making, allowing our brokers to give priority to professionalism and give the best service to their clients and colleagues. This promotes a culture based on trust, respect, wholeness, and recognition. 

Konsileo are like a family, and these values are at the heart of how we work – transparently and honestly, both as a team and for our clients.
