We combine innovative technology with a collaborative approach to transform the
commercial insurance broking model. We firmly believe that great insurance brokers
need to have state-of-the-art tools and supportive peers, but also to be trusted in
front of clients and the market. Traditional broking firms are often stuck with legacy technology where more and more brokers are spending too much time on administration rather than in front of
clients. This is why we’ve adopted a new, innovative way of running our organisation. We were voted Best Insurance Employer of 2020 by the industry’s leading publication. This is no accident - we’ve
purposefully designed a progressive and modern culture. We’re clearly doing things right, as we were re-nominated for 2021!
Voted Network of the Year, the only Network with global broker backing, a Network that values independence as a cornerstone and provides our global resources to achieve your aspirations. Our own CPD accredited Business School, Marketing Consultancy, fantastic Insurer Relationships, access to decision makers and an active Networking programme are all part of the personal attention you receive to build your business.
