Professional Insurance Agents Ltd (PIA) is a specialist professional indemnity, intellectual property and directors and officers' insurance brokerage.
The company was formed on the 20th January 1995 from a management buyout of the professional indemnity insurance account held by East Sussex Finance & Insurance Services Ltd, who had been offering professional indemnity and directors and officers' insurance to clients for more than eight years. All the existing brokers and staff from that department transferred to the new company, PIA.
PIA currently operates over 100 websites and has its own custom built video chat system, called LiveBroker, which allows clients to talk to brokers live over the Internet at no cost.

“The professional must learn to be moved and touched emotionally, yet at the same time stand back objectively: I’ve seen a lot of damage done by tea and sympathy.”

“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“Even though fathers, grandparents, siblings, memories of ancestors are important agents of socialization, our society focuses on the attributes and characteristics of mothers and teachers and gives them the ultimate responsibility for the child’s life chances.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
