By Miles LTD

WHO ARE WE? At By Miles, we want to make owning a car easier for everyone. It just so happens that we’re starting off by making it better for lower mileage drivers. Car insurance doesn’t have the best reputation. It’s dull, unfair and expensive, and there’s a lot of unnecessary paperwork to fill in. Looking around, the industry tends to be run by old men in suits. We’re changing that. We launched the UK’s first real-time pay-by-mile car insurance policies in 2018, along with a smart driving app, because owning a car should set you free, not tie you down. It’s probably this attitude that meant we were voted the best car insurance provider in the UK within our first year. WHAT WE BELIEVE IN. These are the things that really matter to us. We call them ‘virtues’ rather than ‘values’ because they’re not just aspirational words, but things we already do and have committed to keep doing. We decided on these virtues as a whole company, so there’s no corporate waffle, just a basic set of shared beliefs that guide us in everything we do. Respect, Fairness, Growth, Efficiency and Ambition. LIFE AT BY MILES Work. We’re proud of the work we do here. We’re also lucky enough to be surrounded by people we actually like spending the day with. We don’t always talk about car insurance, believe us. Being based in the city, you’ll be lucky to find someone in the office that actually owns a car (let alone a driving licence). Life. We hold regular social events, and on Fridays, we like to unwind with a drink and a weekend-welcoming playlist to get us in the mood. It’s the kind of office where you’re never far from a coffee machine expert if you need one, and there’s always someone with a recommendation for a new lunch spot to try out. Balance. Got other interests outside work? Us too. Brains need a break sometimes, so when we’re in the office, we always welcome a quick table tennis showdown. Things like our flexible remote working policy, quiet spaces in the office and mental health days make it easy for us to take a breather from the desk if we need it. BELONGING AT BY MILES. Car insurance is bought by everyone, so our members come from all over the country, aged from 21 through to 80. We know we can only keep doing our best work with a diverse team that reflects that. To achieve our mission of bringing fairer car insurance to everyone, we need to actually cater for everyone, which we can’t successfully do unless our team represents every person. It’s important that our office is a welcoming and comfortable space for everyone, and that every voice feels heard and valued. We don’t just say we’re inclusive and diverse, we actively put it into practice. It’s an ongoing commitment that we’re always looking into maintaining and improving. PERKS OF THE JOB. Here’s the important bit. Every good job should come with good benefits, and we take ours very seriously. Whether you’re into training courses, holidays, cycling to work, professional coaching or buying a heap of books you hope to read (that may end up gathering dust for a while), we’ve got you covered. And we’re open to suggestions. If it matters to you, it matters to us.
