Our key moments

Blue Timeline Long

2006 | The inception of our company

Our Owners, Tim and Tom, set out to change the industry and improve on the service being offered by other satellite insurance providers. This led to the set up of Satellite Repair Services Ltd in the coastal town of Bournemouth.

2011 | We changed our name to Home Appliance Guard Ltd

We became one of the first satellite breakdown providers to be regulated by the FCA. During this year our company blossomed and we opened a new call centre in Southampton. We also began to offer breakdown and accidental damage cover on televisions. In 2011 we changed our name to Home Appliance Guard Ltd.

2013 | We started to expand our protection products

We started covering white goods such as: washing machines, dishwashers, ovens and fridge freezers. We also started to offer protection on brown goods to protect as much of your home as possible, and make good on our goal to keep our customers’ homes running smoothly.

2018  We rebranded to Zest!

With the business growing we needed a brand to match our ambitious vision and one that could eventually become a household name. We needed something to reflect our energy and passion in an otherwise dull market – that’s how we came to Zest.

2022 | We moved into our new HQ

With our continued growth as a business we needed new offices to match the vision of the company and fulfil our goal of becoming the zest place to work. With this, we completely renovated office spaces in Poole Road and Midland House in Bournemouth town centre.

Zest HQ

This is where the magic happens, our very own Zest headquarters. This amazing building is over 100 years old and was refurbished for us at the beginning of 2022. We had everything made exactly how we like it and we’re proud to show off our amazing Zest space, an environment where hard work, passion, and ideas flourish. Check out our video of it being put together!
