Our oldest constituent company began offering fire insurance to the people of London on 12 November 1696. Over the subsequent three hundred years, the companies which now make up the Aviva group have responded to customer needs providing every aspect of insurance cover, from life assurance to marine risks, and from employers' liability and motor insurance to plate glass and hail storm damage. Investigate the fascinating histories of these companies that have come together to make Aviva.
