This highly respected UK MGA continues to go from strength to strength, and as a result of its outstanding broker service, additional new agencies and increased levels of high-quality submissions, it now seeks to add additional strength and expertise to its renowned Construction Underwriting practice.
This niche MGA doesn’t spread itself too thinly; it carefully selects the markets within which it wants to trade, and then invests heavily in infrastructure, marketing and staffing. The Construction practice is experiencing unprecedented levels of growth and broker confidence, and now is the time for it to invest heavily in staffing to enable its key broking partners to continue to receive the same, concierge, levels of underwriting excellence that they’ve grown to expect.
With facilities to offer all classes of UK Construction insurance cover including Contractors All Risk (Annual and Project), Contractors Liability and Contractors Combined, there really is no reason for supporting brokers to seek cover elsewhere for their policy-holding Tradesmen, Regional Construction Firms, Builders and Developers.
You will be responsible for the underwriting of broker introduced new and renewal business, and you’ll make a strong contribution to the income and profit objectives of the business to meet budgets and targets. You must be able to demonstrate a good understanding of excellent customer service and negotiation skills, and have a good level of market awareness. You will ensure that the standard of service provided to customers is in accordance with those laid down by the company along with FCA regulatory rules and guidelines.
You’ll be joining an established and welcoming team that has gained an enviable reputation within its chosen market for placing complex risks and for turning around competitive quotations expeditiously at all times. With Head Office based in the heart of the City’s district, you’ll enjoy beautiful views over the City of London from an elevated position. With a highly motivated, approachable and “lead from the front” management team in place, you’ll be encouraged to embrace autonomy and make strong business decisions.
You’ll be able to demonstrate proven experience from within the Construction sector, and ideally this will come from within a MGA or wholesale broking environment. Candidates that come from the syndicate or composite insurer space with strong trading skills are also actively encouraged to apply.
During Covid, our client has continued to maximise output, deliver upon its key KPIs and write outstanding levels of new business while its staff have worked remotely. As a result of this, they are keen to embrace a new hybrid way of working and are happy to allow staff to work from home for two days a week, if required, with the remainder based from Head Office in the City. Of course, if you’d prefer to work 5 days from the office that can be accommodated too.
With a salary available from £40K to £55K plus bonus and benefits, this really is an exceptional opportunity for a proactive, Construction insurance specialist to join this exceptional MGA that continues to expand and develop.
