Conceived by the former Nottingham University student Michael Jeremy Naylor, Endsleigh was founded by the National Union of Students (NUS) in 1965 to provide tailored insurance services to university and college students. It was probably named after either Endsleigh Street, Endsleigh Place or Endsleigh Gardens, in Bloomsbury, on the Duke of Bedford's Bedford Estate. Under Mike Naylor's guiding and driving hand as its Managing Director, it then rapidly expanded into the graduate and professionals markets. Since its founding it has been the only insurer recommended by the NUS and is now the preferred insurance supplier for many professional associations, including the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers, the Association of University Teachers and the Association of Optometrists.
