The History Behind Banwells

The Banwells name has existed since 1928 and is associated with excellence in Automotive Engineering and vehicle assessing.

Leonard Banwell, the founder of Banwells, started assessing motor vehicles in response to the demand created by the introduction of compulsory motor insurance under the Road Traffic Act.

Over the years Banwells has expanded and added additional services to the portfolio to become a market leader in Automotive Engineering and vehicle assessing.

In June 2010 Banwells was acquired by GBB (UK) Holdings Ltd and became a sister company of GBB (UK) Ltd.

Further expansion occurred in August 2011 with the acquisition of HW Bell & Co Ltd. This acquisition extends vehicle assessing coverage down into London and beyond.

The Future For Banwells

The future for Banwells is starting to take shape as we focus more on customer service and providing clients with what they want in the format that they want it.

We are working upon a number of new initiatives and schemes that we believe will provide motor insurers and claims handling agents with cost effective money saving solutions to everyday problems.  We expect to launch a number of new initiatives before the end of 2011.
