A leading national insurance broking group with an established regional branch network and steady organic growth. Known for low staff turnover and a supportive culture, the business focuses on expanding its commercial and corporate portfolios, offering a stable platform where client retention and merit-based progression are actively championed.

Role Summary

If you are currently handling commercial insurance and looking to step up into a client-facing advisory role, this position offers direct ownership of an existing book alongside warm business growth. Rather than a routine replacement, this appointment focuses on long-term client advisory across varied commercial accounts, backed by a major national broker within a close-knit Cornish team.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage an established commercial book across renewals, midterm adjustments and daily advisory queries, giving you immediate account stability and trusted direct relationships.
• Broke risks to the open market and negotiate directly with insurers, sharpening your technical placement expertise and expanding your underwriter network.
• Handle inbound and proactive new business enquiries across mixed commercial classes, offering you autonomy to develop your pipeline and gain regional visibility.
• Review client demands and needs to deliver structured broking presentations, deepening your exposure to complex corporate risks and technical policy wordings.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience within general or commercial insurance broking or underwriting, with sound technical knowledge across commercial lines.
• Proven ability to manage client renewals, policy adjustments, and new business enquiries.
• Strong communication and negotiation skills, with confidence advising commercial clients and collaborating with market underwriters.
• Experience using broking software such as Acturis is advantageous, alongside commitment to ongoing professional development.

If this role isn’t quite right, it’s still worth speaking to one of our specialist team, as we may be working on something that hasn’t hit the market yet.
