The company

This is a relationship-driven brokerage that has been in operation for over 20 years. The Managing Director has led it since 2018. Stable leadership, consistent growth, and a genuine investment in technology and team culture.

What makes them different is the consultative approach. They are not brokers who send a bill once a year. They get out and meet clients, understand their business, educate them on risks they may not know about, and add value beyond just placing cover. Risk management, valuations, and real advice are part of what they bring.

The new business and account management functions are split into dedicated teams, which means the person in this role has a clear runway to focus entirely on winning new business without the distraction of renewals, claims or mixed priorities.

The team

You will work directly alongside the Managing Director, who handles larger relationships and networking. This role is the other half of the new business function.

The culture here is open, down to earth and collaborative. The MD is laid back and open-minded, but the standard is high. Problem solvers who bring solutions, not problems, will thrive here.

People consistently say they are surprised by how robust the culture is and how much more complex and interesting the work is than they expected.
