Leadership

The people who set the direction.

Bascule is run by two people who have spent their working lives in the equine market — and built the operating model the rest of the team runs on.

William Hill
Sarah Moore

William Hill & Sarah Moore

Co-founded Bascule on the belief that the equine industry deserved a specialist underwriting company built exclusively for horses. After years with a large insurer where equine was just one part of the business, Will and Sarah set out to create a company focused entirely on the needs of equine clients, agents, and their horses.

The wider team

Underwriting, claims & operations.

Every name on this page works directly with policy holders and agents. Email them or call the main line and ask for them by name — no transfers, no hold music.
