PURPOSE OF ROLE
Are you a driven and experienced Commercial Insurance professional ready for your next challenge? We are looking for a New Business Account Executive to join our growing team in the South West and play a key role in expanding our Commercial portfolio.
This is a newly created role driven by ongoing growth and recent investment. You’ll focus on developing mid-market commercial clients (£10k+ premiums) across the South West, supported by a prospect list, high-value industry memberships, and strong internal resources.
