Fine Art and General Insurance Brokers

Anthony Wakefield & Company Ltd is based in Dorking, Surrey, and is a family-owned, truly independent insurance broker. We advise and arrange personalised insurance products for private clients and commercial customers situated within the UK.

We help ensure that you have adequate cover to avoid disappointment in the event of a claim, focussing on value for money as opposed to the cheapest cover available. As experienced insurance brokers, we provide expert, independent advice and negotiate terms with insurers to find the right policy.

Our knowledge, expertise and friendly manner is what preserves the longstanding relationships we have with our clients. Each client has their own dedicated account handler who can advise, recommend, and arrange insurance on their behalf. Our service is there to save you time, give you peace of mind and assist you in the event of a claim.

Our Story

Anthony Wakefield founded the company in 1983, after beginning his career with a firm of International Insurance Brokers. The firm has a reputation for first class service conducted in a pleasant and friendly manner. In 2005, The British Antique Dealers’ Association (BADA) appointed Anthony Wakefield & Company as Recommended Service Providers, and they still hold this status today.

Anthony Wakefield & Co are members of The British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA), the UK’s leading general insurance intermediary organisation representing the interests of insurance brokers, intermediaries and their customers. In 2025, they were listed on the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) website as brokers with experience of providing services for RICS regulated firms.

With the sad passing of Anthony Wakefield in 2020, John Wakefield continues to take a supervisory role within the company. Fostering the next generation, the company offers training to its staff to encourage their personal development. Trading for over 40 years, we have no intention to slow down.
