Hand in Hand Fire & Life Insurance Society

The Hand in Hand Fire & Life Insurance Society was one of the oldest British insurance companies.

History
The company was founded in 1696 at Tom's Coffee House in St Martin's Lane in London. It was one of three fire insurance companies started after the Great Fire of London, and it was initially called the Contributors for Insuring Houses, Chambers or Rooms from Loss by Fire, by Amicable Contribution. In 1905, the Hand in Hand was acquired by the Commercial Union Group.
