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.
This is a superb opportunity to inherit a portfolio of mid / corporate portfolio of accounts generating between £250,000 - £300,000 commission and fee income. The exact make-up of this account can be tweaked to suit your skills, experiences and ambitions, but is likely to include clients from such sectors as manufacturing, construction and engineering, with individual earnings ranging between £10,000 - £50,000.
The focus of this role is very much on the retention of this longstanding and loyal portfolio of accounts, and ensuring existing clients’ insurance programmes reflect their exposure to risks. However, you will be passed clients from colleagues on the Business Development Team who work with leads that are provided from a major high street bank.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
