City Computers is one of the few genuinely independent IT companies in the Insurance Market. We are a private company, 100% owned by ourselves, and based less than two miles away from the City of London. We develop and maintain all our own software in-house, and have no reliance on offshore development centres.
City Computers has been writing and supplying complete IT processing systems to the London Insurance Market since 1980. Our clients have included Lloyds and Companies, supporting a range of underwriting specialisations. The market has changed a great deal since 1980, and many of the largest companies from those days are now in runoff. For these and other reasons, City Computers has come to appreciate the specialised nature of the non-Lloyds runoff community. Our software now supports some of the largest runoffs in the market.
One of the company's prized assets is our headquarters building - an original 1820 Grade 2 listed Georgian mansion in South London, 50 yards from the Thames and once home to one of the aristocratic Gaitskell family. Having been damaged during the Blitz, and rebuilt during the 1960's with a large and sympathetic extension, William Gaitskell House served for many years as Rotherhithe Police Station. The building became known to millions during the 50s and 60s as Dock Green Nick, and was used by the BBC for exterior shots as part of the popular police series, Dixon of Dock Green. It was sold for development during the 70s as office space.
At City Computers we recognise that providing high quality technical solutions that add real value for our clients is only part of the story. Of equal importance is our ability to build a successful long term relationship with each client, the result of our continuous attention to their needs, both during initial implementation of tailored technical solutions and also in the years that follow. City Computers have achieved IS09001, TickIT accreditation and Microsoft Gold Partner Status, which demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest quality software and service levels.
