History
This company was established as Guardian Fire and Life Assurance Company in 1821 and renamed as Guardian Assurance in 1902. It was founded by a group of private bankers for UK and overseas fire and life insurance and expanded into employers' liability from 1897.
During the 19th century the company's address was 11 Lombard Street, but it moved to 68 King William Street in 1922.
