about us

CDL is a market leader in software solutions for high volume retail insurance operations and is highly regarded as an independent, financially stable and trusted partner.

We have consistently anticipated market trends, including the rise of telebroking, online quotations, price comparison sites, consumer self-service and, most recently, telematics-based insurance products. We have worked with our partners to develop and support appropriate and robust IT solutions to maximise the benefits from these opportunities.

As a result, CDL has grown organically over the past three decades, today employing over 400 people at our state-of-the-art headquarters in Stockport.

We have an unrivalled track record in working with industry leading insurance retailers, which is why six out of the UK's top ten intermediaries use CDL systems.

They choose us because we offer leading edge solutions that increase efficiency and profitability, because we deliver on time, and because they know our solutions work.

Above all, clients choose CDL because we create powerful partnerships.

our ethos

At the heart of CDL's culture is our belief in creating powerful and mutually rewarding partnerships with our customers.

We operate with a high ratio of staff to customers, and have built a culture of working together to listen to our customers' needs and delivering solutions to match.

Our philosophy provides customers with the confidence to secure deals, develop schemes and build relationships, knowing that their software partner will be there to deliver.

CDL creates outstanding functionality, delivers unrivalled service and, most importantly, provides a competitive edge to our customers.

The success of this approach can be seen by the number of customers who have developed efficient and profitable enterprises by working with us. There is also an impressive list of established organisations who choose CDL to secure an effective distribution channel in the personal lines market.
