About Lagentium Insurance Brokers

Decades of experience.

Founded in 1972 as R Collins, we have provided insurance solutions for thousands of businesses and individuals over the years and enjoy genuine relationships with our clients.

In 2019, R Collins became Lagentium Insurance Brokers which better matched our vision and our goals. We take our name from the Roman for our home of Castleford, where many of our clients are based.

Consistency is key.

We know that solid relationships depend on consistency. Our team has been working together for decades as we pool all this experience to deliver a truly remarkable insurance service.

Apprentice Insurance Executive

Elysia Lyons

I joined the team in February 2024 as an Apprentice. After leaving school during Covid times, I had no idea which career path to take and so I am happy to have found such a great place to work while achieving another qualification and training to become an Apprentice Insurance Executive. I enjoy travelling and socialising so there’s no better place to work than insurance!

Apprentice Insurance Executive

Billie Blueman

After leaving college in 2022, I was unsure what path to take, and found myself working in an ice cream van. Realising I was capable of better things, I seized the opportunity to apply to be an Apprentice Insurance Executive, and shortly thereafter joined the Lagentium family in January 2024.

  • In the last year I have needed two types of business insurance, first as a sole trader then as a limited company. I told Tracey what I needed in terms of insurance and she came back to me within an hour with a very competitive price. Once limited we needed different insurance and Tracey again quickly found me the best insurance at the best price.

    - Paul Gibbins, Creative Bathrooms and Joinery Limited

  • I recently had the pleasure of dealing with R Collins & Co. I found them to be very friendly and professional in their approach and I particularly liked the fact that when they said they would ring me back, they did - a rarity these days.

    - Christine Martin, Wentvale B&B

  • As a network marketing company I’m not a conventional type business so Tracey fully researched what would be most suitable. She then offered two levels of cover and actually advised that the cheaper policy was perfectly adequate to cover the needs of my business. I have no hesitation in recommending Tracey and her team.

    - Rebecca Moore, Big Futures Group

  • I contacted R Collins and Co to quote for our office insurance. Not only did they save us money but the service was superb. They replied to all emails promptly, gave excellent advice and were generally very pleasant people to deal with. I would recommend them without hesitation. It feels great to support a local business and get a great deal in the process.

    - Louise Clayton, Visible Thoughts

  • Tracey and her team are professional, customer focused and what makes them stand out from their competitors is that they genuinely care. Tracey went over and above in sourcing JS Recruitment a competitive Business Insurance policy which was requested at short notice and subsequently resulted in a substantial cost saving to our business.

    - Jilly Spiers, JS Recruitment

  • I would like to thank you for the outstanding service that you have given. You quoted Go Media for Business and Contents Insurance with exceptional thoroughness, spotting mistakes made by our previous insurers which resulted in better, more accurate cover and ultimately a cost saving. I will have no hesitation in recommending you with enthusiasm.

    - Paul D Norton, Go Media Ltd

  • As the time approached for my house insurance renewal, I spoke to Tracey for a quote. Within less than 10 minutes Tracey had managed to find me a suitable quote and save me a substantial amount on last year's fee.

    - Joshua Redshaw, Trims Building Products Limited

  • I recently purchased a VW Transporter van via my business. When I checked the usual comparison sites, quotes were coming in at over £1,800 per year and R Collins managed to secure a quote which saved me £792 per year. I was delighted with the service as R Collins sorted this instantly for me and also thrilled at the savings.
