Our Story

1988

Pound Gates was founded, in Ipswich, by friends Allan Pound, a Lloyd’s of London insurance Broker, and Ivan Gates, a Felixstowe freight forwarding attend. The business began with a distinct focus on marine and transit risks. The initial set up included Pound Gates & Co Ltd and Sevatas, a niche business aimed at the finished vehicle logistics sector, which is now a leader in its field.

2002

Under Kevin Collins leadership from 2002, Pound Gates experienced significant growth and transformation, sharing its specialisation and expanding its influence.

2017

The launch of Contior in 2017 enhanced our service range, providing specialised motor engineering services and complementing our existing offerings.

Today

As a leading independent Chartered Insurance Broker, Pound Gates delivers comprehensive business insurance solutions locally in Suffolk and beyond. Our expertise extends to specialised sectors including nurseries, removers & storage, self storage and containers.
