Careers

If you want a career that offers unlimited potential for personal satisfaction and financial rewards, look no further than the insurance industry for marvellous opportunities at many levels.

Insurance broking in particular offers the potential of an excellent career choice to the right candidate.

There are not many professions that offer involvement and diverse experiences in such a broad spectrum of industries that insurance broking can and does. One day insuring oil tankers on the high seas, the next, high rise building projects and the one after that, cover for the local festival against the risk of a rain washout.

A career as an insurance broker is your passport to knowledge, not only about your chosen profession but also about what makes the wheels of commerce and industry go round.

Where do insurance brokers fit in the insurance world?

This extract from the website of The National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) explains the role of a broker:

The key differentiation between insurance brokers and the remainder of the insurance world is that insurance brokers are professional advisors who work on behalf of their clients, not insurance companies. The main day to day aspect of the broker’s role is to assist clients to manage risks associated with the property they own and the business they operate by primarily sourcing and arranging insurance cover."
