York’s, and by extension North Yorkshire’s business community is somewhat unique and poses Underwriters some fascinating risks; from historic buildings and world-renowned visitor attractions, through to retailers thriving as a result of social media superstardom, and high growth tech businesses spun out of the city’s Universities.
As such, this global broker, with its host of ancillary services and specialist teams offering an unrivalled product suite, is well-placed to deliver exceptional client service to this regional market. Its York office is based just out of the city centre at Monks Cross Retail Park, so close to the local arterial roads with plenty of shops and amenities nearby, and well-served by public transport. As such, this role will appeal to candidates from across North Yorkshire and large parts of Leeds.
Here, you will play a key part in the day-to-day management of an allocation of commercial accounts. These can be tweaked to suit your skills, experiences and ambitions, and the team looks after cases from a range of sectors such as Property Owners, Manufacturing, Motor Trade, Hospitality and the professions. This includes relatively straight-forward risks with modest premium spends, through to much more complex business with global exposures.
Developing a deep knowledge of your clients’ businesses and the risks they face, you will ensure that their insurance programme reflects their appetite for risk and, should gaps in cover exist, you’ll suggest innovative ways to mitigate these.
