Hastings Direct is a UK personal lines insurance broker. Customers buy and manage policies through its smartphone app, website, or by phone. It sells car, bike, van, and home insurance, plus breakdown cover and other add-on products. The company is based in Bexhill-on-Sea, United Kingdom, and serves over 4 million customers.
David Gundlach and Andrew Bowen founded Hastings Direct in 1997. Insurance Australia Group bought it in 2006. A management buyout followed in 2009, then an IPO in 2015. In November 2020, a consortium of Rand Merchant International and Sampo Group took the company private again, paying £1.7 billion. Four ownership changes since founding show how much money is riding on UK car and home insurance.1
