Who is AXA?

Headquartered in Paris, AXA is one of the world’s leading insurers, the group has 153,000 employees and distributors across 54 countries. AXA originates from France’s Normandy region, where it was founded in the early 19th century under the name Ancienne Mutuelle de Rouen, specialising in property and casualty insurance.

The company enjoyed rapid expansion in the second half of the 20th century through both organic growth and acquisitions to become one of France’s biggest insurers, with the AXA name emerging in the mid-1980s. AXA used the same strategy abroad during the 1990s and beyond, enabling it to fast become one of the world’s largest insurance groups.

These days AXA is a household name in the UK, offering car, van, home, travel, health, landlord and business insurance.
