about us
hubb is a commercial insurance broker using AI, automation and data science to offer businesses the right cover, with the least effort and at the best possible price.”
Our Story
In 2019, frustrated by increasing commissions and reducing service, we set about reimagining commercial insurance broking in the customer’s favour.
Broking 2.0, as we call it, was designed around ensuring that there is greater alignment between the price paid and service received by customers. We realised that we would need to utilise technology to reduce the administrative burden, manual processes and human biases that exist in the current model, instead relying on AI-led decision making, data augmentation and unique automation of processes.
We also believe that rebuilding business owners’ trust in insurance brokers begins with “radical transparency” – so we opened up our back office and made proactive disclosure of earnings central to our model. More importantly, our model is focussed upon driving the right behaviours in our staff, incentivising them to put the customer first at all times.

hubb and the Metaverse
On the 9th February 2022, hubb announced that we had become the world’s first metaverse-ready insurance broker. Having run an initial pilot of the technology through late 2021/early 2022, we discovered incredible value within the metaverse in respect of collaboration, meetings and perhaps most prevalently, co-working.
As a hybrid-working team, based all over the world, we found that onboarding new team members, particularly those earlier on in their careers, was simply not as effective as face-to-face. We theorized that this was due to the lack of learning through osmosis – you can learn a vast amount by simply sitting next to someone day-to-day can, observing and listening to them. After an initial awkwardness, we found this new way of working to be a huge success.
And, whilst we’re not banking on it, we hope that one day customers may join us in the metaverse so that we can conduct their insurance reviews in whatever environment best suits them.
