If you are a Commercial Account Handler in Watford who enjoys proper client interaction and structured commercial insurance work, this is worth a look.

This opportunity sits within a well backed, acquisitive insurance group, though the appointment is confidential. The Watford office has an established book of loyal commercial clients and a steady leadership team. It is not chaotic. It is not high churn. It is solid, relationship led insurance.

As a Commercial Account Handler in Watford, you will support Account Executives across a varied portfolio of SME and mid market commercial insurance risks. These are trading businesses with real exposures. You will be involved in renewals, insurer negotiations and day to day advice, not just processing.

The insurance market in Watford remains competitive. Strong Commercial Account Handlers are valued for their judgement and consistency. This team understands that and invests accordingly.

What you will be doing:

• Managing renewals for a portfolio of commercial insurance clients
• Preparing market submissions and negotiating terms with insurers
• Handling mid term adjustments across property, liability and motor classes
• Supporting Account Executives with larger or more complex cases
• Acting as a day to day contact for clients, providing clear and practical advice
• Ensuring accurate documentation and compliance at all times
• You will be trusted to manage your workload. This is not a heavily micromanaged insurance environment. The expectation is professionalism and ownership.

What you will bring:

• Experience as a Commercial Account Handler within the insurance market
• Solid knowledge of core commercial insurance classes
• Confidence dealing directly with insurers and business clients
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• A stable, steady career history within insurance
• The right Commercial Account Handler in Watford may already be a key part of their current team. You may be well looked after and understandably cautious about change. That caution is sensible in insurance.
• This move is about platform and progression. As a Commercial Account Handler here, you will gain exposure to broader cases and clearer progression routes without unnecessary risk.

What is on offer:

• Salary up to £40,000 depending on experience
• Established client base in Watford
• Support with professional qualifications
• Clear progression towards Senior Commercial Account Handler
• A stable, reputable insurance business

If you are a Commercial Account Handler in Watford who would consider a confidential conversation about your next step in insurance, I am happy to speak discreetly.

If you are a Senior Account Handler who enjoys the technical side of broking but has no interest in chasing new business, this will be worth your attention.

This is a role for someone who takes pride in running complex commercial programmes properly. Someone who values structure, professionalism and being part of a serious broking operation. You will not be expected to build your own book. You will not be pushed into sales. Your focus will be delivery, oversight and raising standards.

You will support a portfolio of established commercial clients alongside experienced Account Executives, the Broking Manager and Regional Director of Sales. The clients are already there. The relationships are strong. What matters is how well they are serviced.

This is a visible role within the team. You will mentor junior colleagues and have a direct impact on performance, quality and client retention. It is a platform role for someone who wants their next step to lead towards Broking Operations leadership.

The Role

• You will work closely with Account Executives who sit within the sales function, taking ownership of the technical and servicing aspects of their portfolios. Expect a varied and complex mix of commercial risks across multiple sectors.
• Your responsibilities will include:
• Managing renewals from strategy through to placement
• Preparing market presentations and negotiating terms with insurers
• Handling mid term adjustments and complex queries
• Ensuring documentation, compliance and audit standards are consistently high
• Acting as the technical referral point for junior handlers
• Supporting the Broking Manager with workflow oversight and team coordination
• Building strong, credible relationships with underwriters in the London market
• This is not a back office processing role. You will be front footed, commercially aware and confident dealing directly with clients and insurers.

What You Bring

• This will suit an experienced Commercial Account Handler who is comfortable with larger and more complex risks and who enjoys being the steady pair of hands in the room.
• You are likely to have:
• Several years’ experience handling commercial insurance within a UK broker
• Strong technical knowledge across core commercial lines
• Confidence dealing with Account Executives and senior clients
• The ability to prioritise and manage competing deadlines
• A natural inclination to coach and support less experienced colleagues
• A calm, organised and detail focused approach
• You do not need to bring a client following. You do not need to generate income. You do need to care about quality.

The Environment

• This is a professional, well structured broking business with clear leadership and high standards. Performance is measured properly. Expectations are clear. Support is there.
• You will work in a collaborative team where Account Executives value their handlers and where operational leadership is visible and accessible. The culture is grown up. People are trusted to do their job.
• There is a defined pathway towards leadership within Broking Operations for the right individual. If you want to step into a Team Leader or Operations Manager role over time, this business can support that ambition.

Why Consider a Move

• If you are well looked after where you are, that is a good sign. This role is not about escaping a bad environment. It is about stepping into a bigger platform where your experience has more influence and your progression is clearer.
• If you would value:
• A pure handling role without sales pressure
• Exposure to larger, more complex commercial programmes
• The opportunity to mentor and shape a team
• A route into operational leadership
• A high performing, supportive London market environment

Then we should have a confidential conversation.

No CV needed for an initial discussion. Reach out directly and we will take it from there.

If you are a Corporate Account Handler in Birmingham who enjoys working on complex programmes rather than high volume SME churn, this is worth your attention.

You will be working with sizeable commercial and corporate insurance clients across multiple sectors. These are structured programmes with layered placements, not off the shelf policies. You will have direct insurer interaction and meaningful involvement in strategy, not just processing.

The Birmingham office is established, visible in the local insurance market and backed by strong leadership. This is a team that values technical credibility and long term client relationships.

What you will be doing:

• Attending client meetings where appropriate in Birmingham and surrounding areas
• Ensuring documentation, compliance and reporting are delivered to a high standard

• Confidence dealing directly with insurers and corporate clients
• A calm, organised approach during busy renewal periods
• A stable career history within the insurance market
• Many strong insurance professionals in Birmingham have built long tenures with their current broker. That profile is respected here. This move is not about risk for the sake of it. It is about scale, backing and technical development.

What is on offer:

• Salary between £40,000 and £50,000 depending on experience
• Exposure to large, structured corporate insurance programmes
• Clear progression towards Senior Corporate Account Handler or Account Executive
