E H Ranson & Co

E H Ranson & Co is an independent insurance broker that began trading in Edinburgh in 1894. Since the mid 1960s, the business has concentrated solely on insurance broking and is described as a family business. It specialises in motor, home and commercial risks.

The company has been a member of the British Insurance Brokers Association since the association was founded. Its services include household, tradesman, landlords, high and mid net worth, business insurance, commercial combined, motor, commercial vehicles, fleet and motorcycle insurance.

Commercial property cover, household policies and motor insurance are arranged in Edinburgh by E H Ranson & Co, a long-standing family brokerage whose reviews reflect decades of loyal custom. A handful of customers describe the patience and knowledge of the team, noting that enquiries are handled thoroughly and without any sense of haste. A point made in several accounts is the punctuality of renewals, which arrive with sufficient time to read the documentation and check the level of protection. Competitive pricing features in multiple accounts, with long-standing clients commenting that the firm makes a genuine effort on cost.

Continuity is a recurring theme: businesses and individuals speak of relying on the broker for many years, sometimes across two generations of the same family. The helpfulness of whoever answers the phone is frequently praised, with staff gathering full details before responding and going further than expected to resolve matters. Feedback is warm in tone, describing polite and friendly colleagues and a service that feels personal rather than transactional. Commercial insurance work, renewals and straightforward domestic enquiries all appear in the accounts, which consistently point to an attentive and approachable team.
