Aston Charles
Location
North East, Glasgow | United Kingdom
Job description
Recognised by those ‘in the know’ as the North East’s premier brokerage, this global controls some of the region’s most coveted accounts and is staffed by many of the area’s most gifted and entrepreneurial insurance professionals.
Our client is long-established in the region and deeply committed to retaining a major presence in Newcastle. The clients handled by the dedicated Corporate Unit vary in size, typically between £50K - £500K fee income but there are several notable exceptions of blue-chip accounts in excess of this. Its management team is widely acclaimed for its technical ability, entrepreneurial approach and the strength of the relationships it enjoys with its clients.
Due to the forthcoming retirement of a member of the Senior Team, the need has arisen to appoint an additional Account Executive to inherit a six-figure portfolio of accounts. This book of business comprises accounts from a variety of industry sectors, but with a slight bias towards Manufacturing and Engineering risks. The focus on this role is very much on the retention of the existing portfolio and the organic growth of accounts through cross and upselling ancillary covers and services. As such, you will not be burdened with punitive new business targets. However, should you choose to pursue new business opportunities, you will be rewarded with a handsome bonus.
It is essential that you are an experienced Account Executive who is au fait with the full suite of commercial covers and are comfortable dealing with clients from a range of sectors. Whilst it is not essential that you are currently working with corporate accounts, you must demonstrate that you will be able secure ‘buy in’ from larger premium clients. As such, you must be confident, professional and have excellent communication skills to build rapport with clients, including some of the region’s most respected businesses.
You will receive a generous and completely negotiable salary, bonus, car allowance, pension and a range of ‘flexible’ benefits.
It is Aston Charles’ opinion that there are very few candidates in the local market who would truly excel in this role. As such, we would be willing to share our agency fee with well-connected individuals who can successfully recommend suitable candidates to us. To find out more about Aston
