JM Glendinning in short
JM Glendinning is the Telford branch of a large national broking group, offering commercial combined, motor, liability, professional indemnity and household cover with a claims-support route. That group backing suits anyone who wants a local branch with national scale behind it. The authorisation footing is exact, with a firm reference number stated on the group's legal page. Business and personal lines sit side by side, so one broker can cover firm and household.
Customer reviews of JM Glendinning run to a single five-out-of-five Google review, so local evidence is as thin as it gets. It counts against the branch that the national site says little about Telford itself, and no fees or VAT position are published on the site. The company record runs to the early seventies, which is a long record.
Our verdict
Our judgement: JM Glendinning suits you if you want a Telford branch backed by a large UK broker group. The authorisation record is exact and the history runs to 1972. It counts against it that Telford-specific evidence is thin to a single review and the national site says little about the branch.

Questions about JM Glendinning
Is JM Glendinning any good?
On the evidence, yes for group-backed cover: it sits sixth in our Telford insurance brokers table, with a Telford branch, an exact authorisation reference and a company record running decades back. Local review evidence is thin, so read the full page and its sources. Confirm who in Telford handles your account.
Is JM Glendinning FCA registered?
Authorisation under a printed firm reference number is stated on the group's own legal page. Check the name and number match on the FCA register before you share documents. Ask for the reference in writing with your quote before you proceed.
What does JM Glendinning charge?
The site publishes no fees, commission terms, free-quote statement or VAT position, so the written quote does the talking. Ask what the broker earns on your policy and whether any fee adds VAT. Get the answers in writing before cover starts.
Where does JM Glendinning work?
The branch works from Halesfield in Telford, backed by a national group with offices well beyond the town. Send your postcode with the enquiry to confirm you are covered. Ask whether your account stays in Telford, and take a named contact for the file.
