Company mission
To reinvent insurance as a bridge between modern consumers and the brands they love.
Our take
The insurtech scene has seen a number of interesting shakeups over recent years with the rise of AI, mobile applications, and new à la carte policies. A major player in its chosen niche, Zing is the UK’s leading embedded insurer for the luxury goods industry.
Zing enables premium brands across the jewellery, watches and luxury fashion industry to enhance their customer experience and lifetime value by offering clear, simple and instant insurance at their e-commerce checkout. By working directly with the retailer, Zing works to bridge the gap between modern consumers and the brands they love, building brand affinity and strengthening the relationships between retailers and their customer base.
Zing has onboarded some of the UK's most impressive luxury retailers, and has rapidly established itself as the leading embedded insurer for this market. Capitalising on its rapidly growing traction, Zing is on an ambitious and exciting journey, and is already precipitating a lucrative overhaul in the way e-commerce businesses around the globe do business - not just in the UK.

Whilst it's important for people to be in the office to create that team work ethic and to enable you to bounce ideas of everyone in the team, the company always want to give the employees the flexibility to work from home a couple of days a week and be flexible on timings where required.
