Having traded for several generations, this is perhaps one of the UK's longest standing, and not to mention, most respected, insurance brokers. Headed by a strong management team, who haven't been afraid to change with the times or reinvest profits in its infrastructure, the company continues to enjoy terrific growth to this day - through both the acquisition of quality accounts and by complementary acquisitions of other firms.
This independent firm has a presence across Great Britain, but Yorkshire is home to the Head Office of its Credit Insurance Division (with teams being based in various satellite offices the length and breadth of the UK). Due to the continued acquisition of Credit Insurance business, the need has arisen for an additional Account Handler to join the specialist team.

These will comprise clients from a variety of sectors, (both blue and white collar), and range from SME's through to multi-million-pound turnover companies with complex supply chains across the country.

- Dealing with a variety of stakeholders, such as chasing insurers for renewal terms and new business indications.

We welcome applications from experienced insurance professionals, as well as those from complementary areas of the professions who understand Credit Insurance, such as those from factoring, invoice discounting or credit control backgrounds. It's essential that you are well-organised, with strong communication skills (both written and verbal), and that you have the ability to liaise effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.
