We have a rarely available opportunity here for an ambitious Commercial Account Executive to join one of the UK's leading Insurance Brokers into the Media sector, based in Cardiff. We spoke at length to one of the Directors of this broker and were really impressed at what they had to say. They have an extremely low turnover of staff here, due to the culture that they have in place. They are a very close-knit team of 8 highly experienced insurance specialists, most having experience that covers a minimum of 10+ years, with the directors having over 20 years experience working with some of the biggest insurance firms in the past.

They are looking for you to come on board and takeover and manage a book of existing clients that currently stands at £250k and made up of mid market to corporate clients and a range of commercial lines covers. To be considered you will need to have had at least 5 years experience in a similar role in Commercial Insurance where you have worked with either mid market or corporate clients. Good packages are on offer for the right people, circa £50-70k basic, plus annual bonus. They also offer 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and a company pension and offer genuine progression too.
