Due the imminent retirement of an incumbent member of the Corporate Division, Aston Charles has been retained to assist in the appointment of a Corporate Account Executive to inherit a portfolio of Corporate Accounts.
Our client is the Commercial Broking Division of a much larger group of companies, and is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious names in the North West business community. Our client boasts a fine reputation within the local insurance industry for the technical ability of its staff and the deep understanding they have developed of the issues affecting their clients.
This broker arranges the insurance of some the North West best known companies, including Blue Chip PLC’s and privately owned firms from both blue and white collar industries. You will inherit a portfolio that currently generates in excess of £250K commission and fee income, with individual accounts having a minimum brokerage of £10K.
The majority of these clients have their Head Office in and around greater Manchester and Lancashire, although there are several exceptions and a number will have secondary/ regional offices elsewhere, so a degree of travelling may be necessary. While this broker tends to shy away from dealing with the more price-driven and ‘dirty risks’, clients are from a wide range of industry sectors, including some challenging technical accounts within Manufacturing and Construction.
Working closely with a team of highly skilled Corporate Account Handlers and Brokers, you will be responsible for all elements of policy servicing and retention. As such, it is essential that you have extensive experience of successfully managing a portfolio of complex corporate insurance accounts. You will be well presented with an air of professional gravitas and be able to secure ‘buy in’ from clients. It is also of paramount importance that you can demonstrate a high level of technical competence. Our client anticipates that the successful candidate will already be ACII qualified, or, as a minimum, can demonstrate a commitment to achieving this status in a reasonable time frame.
This role is very much geared towards the servicing of existing accounts, and as such there are no new business targets attached to this position. However, should you be willing to introduce any corporate accounts to our client you will, of course, be handsomely rewarded.
In return, our client offers a fantastic benefits package to attract the best. This includes a generous basic salary, likely to be over £45K with no upper limit for outstanding candidates. In addition, you will receive a car/ allowance and a host of other company benefits.
