Commercial Account Handler

York’s, and by extension North Yorkshire’s business community is somewhat unique and poses Underwriters some fascinating risks; from historic buildings and world-renowned visitor attractions, through to retailers thriving as a result of social media superstardom, and high growth tech businesses spun out of the city’s Universities.

As such, this global broker, with its host of ancillary services and specialist teams offering an unrivalled product suite, is well-placed to deliver exceptional client service to this regional market.
