History: Co-operative Insurance Society was founded in 1867 by pioneers of the UK Co-oper ative movement.
Initially providing commercial insurance for the growing number of co-operative retail societies, CIS began to offer life assurance in 1886, subsequently developing a range of personal
insurance products.
Its status as a company was changed to that of co-operative society in 1899 and from that date it began to transact industrial branch life assurance.
Chief officer: David Hollas
Biography: David Hollas was appointed chief general manager at CIS in 1997. Previously a deputy chief general manager, he joined the society in 1964 and has held a number of
senior management positions, including that of appointed actuary.
