This role is focused on nurturing and retaining an existing portfolio of commercial clients, managing renewals, mid-term adjustments and day-to-day service.

• Identify cross-sell and upsell opportunities within the existing book where appropriate
• Deliver a high standard of customer care, resolving queries quickly and keeping communication clear and professional
• Work closely with internal broking/placement colleagues to ensure policies are renewed and updated correctly
