£50m GWP - 35 staff - Package dependent on experience

You will take responsibility for an established cross-class commercial insurance operation controlling approximately £50m GWP, supported by a team of around 35 people.

This is a substantial leadership position with the authority, resources and financial incentive to make a measurable difference. The portfolio and infrastructure are already in place, but there remains considerable scope to improve efficiency, attract talented brokers and develop new books of business.

• Protecting and developing the existing £50m GWP portfolio
• Leading, supporting and retaining a 35-person broking team
• Setting a clear strategy for sustainable organic growth

Who this could suit

You may already be a Managing Director, Regional Director or senior commercial insurance leader with responsibility for people, clients and financial performance.

You will need credible cross-class broking experience, sound commercial judgement and the ability to lead an established team without creating unnecessary disruption.

Why consider it?

The business offers the backing and market access of a successful national broking group while giving regional leaders genuine autonomy. There are particularly strong financial incentives for those who can develop offices, recruit high-quality people and build profitable books.

The package will reflect the scale of the appointment and the experience you bring.

Initial conversations will be handled in complete confidence.
