About Devitt

Motorcycle insurance specialists since 1936

Motorcycle specialists for over 80 years

You could say we know a thing or two about insuring motorbikes...

It all began way back in 1936 when Howson Foulger Devitt started an innovative scheme insuring motorcycles through motorcycle dealers. The scheme meant that riders could buy their bike and ride it away that very same day, with their insurance in place.

Howson had started his personal insurance broking career at Lloyd’s in London, but the Devitt family began their business journey in shipping broking and insurance 100 years earlier in 1836; Devitt & Moore was jointly owned by Howson’s grandfather, Thomas Henry Devitt.

Whilst the types of bikes insured and insurer partners have changed over the years, the passion and commitment from the team at Devitt has remained consistent. We are 5 star Defaqto rated and proud to be one of the longest established specialist motorcycle insurance brokers in the UK.

We're proud to work with these great brands

Always keeping good company...

We’ve always tried to maintain an active role within the motorcycle industry, working with well-known brands and have enjoyed successful sponsorships in the past, including the Crooks Suzuki bike as shown in the image, which was famously ridden by the one and only Barry Sheene. We have also enjoyed TT winning success with Ivan Lintin, three times winner of the Lightweight TT.

Currently we’re supporting grass roots projects including our flat track racing team with double Hooligan Champion Jack Bell.

We only work with leading UK insurers
