We would soon start expanding our cover and products. Bishopgate founded In 1939, we formed as Bishopgate Insurance in the UK. Since then, we continued to expand our insurance business sold through brokers in the following decades. Rias bought In 1997, we bought our first independent brand. At Rias, we're committed to high quality, affordable car, home and travel insurance, and unbeatable customer service. Fortis Insurance We bought Northern Star in 2000 and became Fortis Insurance.
