Direct Line was co-founded in 1985 in the United Kingdom by Peter Wood alongside insurance executive Martin Rowland, with initial backing from the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). Peter Wood revolutionized the entire insurance landscape by conceptualizing the direct-to-consumer insurance model, allowing motorists to purchase car insurance policies directly over the telephone rather than relying on traditional intermediaries and brokers, transforming the UK financial sector.
