Commercial account handler

We are currently recruiting for an independent, family-owned Insurance broker in Gloucester with impressive long-term growth plans, who are keen to expand their team with the appointment of an ambitious Commercial Account Handler. The business has grown significantly over the last few years through recruitment, acquisitions of other companies and most importantly due to more and more businesses and individuals entrusting them with their insurance requirements because of the level of service and expertise they offer. They now employ over 25 people in their team of friendly and very knowledgeable insurance brokers in Gloucester. They invest heavily in the training and development of their team and encourage them to study for the Chartered Institute of Insurance qualifications. Despite the rapid growth of the business and the changes in the way insurance is transacted, the ethos of the business continues to be the same as it was when it was established.

You will be required to assist clients when they have questions about or need to make amendments to their cover, or when they need to make a claim and to maintain appropriate, regular contact with existing customers to ensure their insurance requirements continue to be met.
