Careers
The high standards and experience of the people we employ has helped us become one of the largest and most successful family owned, specialist insurance brokers in the West Country. Many of our staff have been with us for over a decade and as a new starter they will support you throughout your time with the company.
Specific to your role, you will undertake a period of training which will take place at our offices. After your induction training you will then be supported throughout your employment by our Personal Development Programme. This will include the opportunity to work towards the Chartered Insurance Institute qualifications.
We are always on the look out for:
- People with a proven track record, professional qualifications or an enviable reputation in one of our chosen markets.
- Those recently finishing full or part time education, looking to build, re-ignite or re-invent a career path.

- Anyone who can transmit an air of excitement, passion, drive and commitment.
As a company which owes its success to the people we employ, it is not simply a case of appointing staff based solely on experience or qualifications, but about finding the right person to fit into our business.
