Job description

Job Description

This regional insurance broker, which has traded very successfully for over a decade, is a real success story in the local business community. A truly independent broker, with traditional values at the heart of everything it does, it is highly valued by its staff. Testament to this, is the fact that the company has never lost any staff to a rival insurance broker.

As a result of continued growth, the need has arisen for an experienced Commercial Account Handler to oversee the management of a varied portfolio of commercial business.

As Commercial Account Handler, you’ll have full responsibility for your own portfolio of SME clients generating individual premiums up to circa £10K and comprising circa 30 renewals per month. In addition, you’ll assist an Account Executive with their larger cases, typically up to £100K premium. Your duties will include managing renewals, providing quotations, processing mid-term adjustments, and handling day-to-day enquiries. The company will support you to achieve your goals, whether working towards professional qualifications or building experience for further responsibilities. This is a company where all staff have a voice and can make a real difference. Employees appreciate the straightforward approach, with less bureaucracy than larger firms.

It is essential that you have previous commercial account handling experience, with good knowledge of major commercial products (Property, Liability/Commercial Combined, Motor). You should be well-organised, possess strong communication skills, and be able to maintain excellent relationships with clients from diverse backgrounds. The team spirit is strong, and the environment is relaxed, with social events and team treats like office-delivered takeaways. This is an office-based role (Mon - Fri), with an early finish on Fridays.

You will be rewarded with a generous basic salary of up to circa £40K (negotiable based on experience), along with various company benefits. If you value traditional working methods and a family-like environment, this could be an ideal opportunity for you.
