Looking after a large number of existing clients, including an exclusive audience of employees and pensioners of several companies such as BP, Centrica and Shell, we also have delegated authority with a number of leading UK Insurers meaning we can go beyond the traditional role of a Broker by making underwriting decisions about new business, MTA and renewals.

High retention rates of over 90% demonstrate the quality of our service delivery.

In return we can offer you a challenging and rewarding job within a professional, fun and relaxed working environment.
