Road Risks) and Commercial Combined, with a particular focus on Commercial Combined commanding a premium in excess of £10k. I am proficient at building strong relationships with supportive brokers and internal colleagues alike. It is these relationships which have been fundamental in assisting me to personally write over £1.6m GWP over the course of 2019, contributing to a profitable £27.5m book of business. I am experienced in designing and developing bespoke solutions for niche businesses in conjunction with our specialist brokers providing appropriate wordings and endorsements tailor made in order to offer a USP and to fit the needs of our potential clients. I manage 3 underwriting assistants where I concentrate on HR matters, along with developing them as effective traders and ensure that they are technically strong in all commercial products. I partake in interview processes during recruitment exercises as well as reviews of loss ratios and assisting with submission of weekly reports to the directors and senior management team. Show less

• Credit Hire and Personal Injury Negotiator

  • Sep 2015 - Jan 2017

  Whitstable, Kent Within this role I dealt specifically with claims involving an element of Credit Hire and Personal Injury. My job was to ensure that the amounts paid were fair and reasonable for the loss, and exposure to exorbitant and avoidable costs mitigated as much as possible. Here I developed my analytical, reasoning and decision making skills which have been invaluable for my successful transition into Commercial Underwriting.
