How can you transform communities every day by working with Ecclesiastical? with Mark Hews from Benefact Group
Summary: We are proud to be part of the Benefact Group – a charity owned, international family of financial services companies that gives all available profits to charity and good causes.
We’re not driven by making a profit, but by how much we can give away to a good causes making us a different type of insurer. In this episode, we discuss the recent achievements of the Group, and our future aspirations, namely, to give £250 million to charity by 2025, and to become the largest charity donor in the UK.
Quote: “There's so many insurers, despite whatever they say, where the important thing for them is to make a profit and they're incentivised to pay the least amount possible to a customer. When you're owned by a charity, you take a completely different approach.”
