About Friends Provident

When Friends Provident was founded in 1832, it consisted of one man working in a room over a Bradford confectioner's shop. From these humble origins, it has grown to become one of the UK's leading financial services groups and a member of the FTSE 100 Index of leading UK companies.

Friends Provident has two core businesses: Friends Provident Life and Pensions (FPLP), which offers a broadly based range of life and pensions products distributed via Independent Financial Advisers, controlled channels and business partnerships; and ISIS Asset Management plc, which manages assets valued at £58.5bn (as at the end of March 2003).

Friends Provident is committed to being a good corporate citizen with a strong sense of responsibility to the communities in which it operates. Through a programme of support for charitable, cultural, educational and recreational projects, we contribute to the diverse needs and interests of the community.
