This isn't just another insurance sales role!

We're looking for an ambitious Insurance Broker to join our growing Manchester-based broking team, helping place specialist risks that sit outside standard insurer criteria.

Particularly Interesting Backgrounds:

The Type of Person Who Will Thrive Here:

• Collaborative and team-oriented
• Motivated by growth and continuous improvement
