ABOUT US Independent Insurance Brokers with over 65 years' of specialist knowledge

Who we are

Mann Broadbent was established in 1961 by its founders, Bob Mann and Bob Broadbent, with the intention of providing the necessary cover for teams engaged in amateur sports. Bob Mann’s background was in football, not only as a player but later as a Football League, F.I.F.A. and Olympic Games referee and an administrator at County F.A. level. Bob Broadbent’s background was in cricket. He was, for many years, a regular first-eleven batsman with Worcestershire County Cricket Club.

The business was subsequently acquired by Sutcliffe & Co, a family-owned independent insurance broker in Worcester. Under their management, the business has prospered and grown into other sports and leisure pursuits, including dance.

Mann Broadbent continues to grow by providing insurance advice and good service to individuals and organisations whilst maintaining the personal service and one-to-one relationships that the business was founded upon over 60 years ago.

A great first outing with Herefordshire Means Business Ltd! 🤝

Doug had a fantastic morning at the latest HMBIZ Networking event, hosted at the brilliant Oaker Wood Leisure.

It was a great opportunity to meet fellow local businesses, make new connections and get involved with the Herefordshire business community.

A big thank you to the HMBIZ team and Oaker Wood for a great event and such a warm welcome. Doug thoroughly enjoyed his first HMBIZ outing and is already looking forward to the next one alongside Sutcliffe & Co Insurance Brokers
