Winston Churchill
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, FRS (30 November 1874 - 24 January 1965) was a British politician known chiefly for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. He is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders. He served as Prime Minister from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, writer and artist. To date, he is the only British Prime Minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the first person to be recognised as an honorary citizen of the United States.
During his army career, Churchill saw military action in India, the Sudan and the Second Boer War. He gained fame and notoriety as a war correspondent and through contemporary books he wrote describing the campaigns. He also served briefly in the British Army on the Western Front in World War I, commanding the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers.

Churchill Insurance
The company, founded by Martin Long in 1989, initially offered car insurance: one of its early employees was Henry Engelhardt who in 1991 went on to found Admiral Insurance. The company began selling home insurance in 1990, and over the years has expanded the types of insurance on sale. Products are sold by telephone or internet; the company has no branch network.
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group purchased Churchill Insurance from Credit Suisse Group for £1.1 billion in June 2003. Prior to this, Churchill had acquired Prudential's Insurance arm in 2002. The company planned to close several of Prudential's key UK offices (including Cardiff and Nottingham) and transfer call-centre and administrative operations to India, with the loss of 30,000 jobs. The takeover by RBS to form part of the group's Insurance division prevented this.
