Alliance Assurance was formed in 1824 by Moses Montefiore and Nathan Rothschild. The original company developed a strong sports club for all employees and siblings. The company merged with Sun Assurance to form Sun Alliance in 1959 and then in 1966 another merger to form Royal Sun Alliance. In 2008 the company changed its name to RSA during which period the sports club was sold.
