Company mission
To change the face of the insurance industry by empowering business transformation through technology.
Our take
Though terms like Insurtech and Software-as-a-Service are quite fresh, CDL has been providing software to leading insurance companies since its foundation in 1977. The fact that it’s come so far suggests that it’s been able to stay ahead of the curve with the many market trends and tech advances since then.
Indeed, the company counts the likes of Autonet, Ageas Retail, Brightside, and British Gas amongst its customers. CDL has grown organically without any capital investment, boasting a still growing employee headcount of over 600, and working with some of the UK’s most established insurance brands, which is a great reflection of the company’s standing.
It’s fair to say that although CDL may not be on a rapid growth trajectory like many younger, VC-funded startups in the insurtech space, it’s stable position would be enviable to most.
