In the counties either side of the English / Welsh border, this broker is very much known as a local name; a firm you can trust, and one that understands the issues faced by those who live and work in rural areas.
It is a long-established and much respected broker that has crafted a fine reputation for delivering the highest levels of customer service and innovative insurance solutions to clients from a variety of industry sectors.
Over the past year or so, the team has appointed several new Account Executives to the Shropshire office, and now seeks to complement these with the appointment of an experienced Account Handler, to deal with either commercial or Agricultural clients, or a combination of the two.
This broker’s Agri’ portfolio comprises pastoral and arable risks, as well as farms that have diversified to include enterprises such as fishing lakes, cafes and ‘glamping’ facilities. The commercial portfolio covers a range of industries reflecting the local business community, such as Retail, Haulage, Property Owners or Manufacturing. Depending on your skills and background, you could be dealing with SME clients paying less than £5K GWP, right up to much more complex corporate clients with premiums around the £50K mark.
It is essential that you have either commercial or agricultural insurance experience (or ideally both!), and this will preferably have been gained from within a broking environment. Knowledge of the full range of commercial or agricultural covers would be beneficial, although there is ample support in house to train you up should you have any gaps in expertise.
You must also have a genuine passion for client service, excellent (written and verbal) communication skills, and pride yourself on your ability to build a friendly yet professional rapport with people from all walks of life.
This broker’s friendly Shropshire office is based just outside Shrewsbury and has ample parking on site, as well as a convenient local high street with shops, cafés and a post office etc. The firm is ideally seeking someone 5 days per week 9am-5pm (with the potential to work one day a week from home) although they will consider applications from outstanding candidates who seek slightly reduced hours.
You will benefit from a basic salary that is very competitive in the local market, a company pension and support towards professional qualifications.
