Summary
This is an opportunity to join a newly established broking build‑out covering the Bristol and wider South West market, with the chance to help shape a regional presence from an early stage. While the role is initially remote, a Bristol office will be established in due course and used as a regional base.
The focus is on developing business beyond traditional volume SME broking, working with complex, specialist and non‑standard risks, including professional indemnity and global exposures. Success in the role will come from targeted networking, intelligent prospecting, and identifying niche opportunities, rather than relying on house leads or existing portfolios.
You will be responsible for building your own pipeline by embedding yourself in the local market: leveraging professional connections, introducers, regional networks and centres of influence. This is a consultative, producer‑led role requiring strong client engagement, credibility with sophisticated buyers, and the confidence to advise on complex insurance solutions.
There is no income target in year one, with the emphasis firmly on activity: introductions, relationship building, and laying strong foundations. Year two brings realistic earning expectations of £30k–£50k+, depending on progress and pipeline conversion.
With no large support structure in place initially, this role suits a self‑sufficient, commercially mature broker with proven business development capability, strong relationship‑building skills, and a deep understanding of the Bristol and South West market. Ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, specialist work, and the opportunity to build something long‑term with genuine backing, rather than short‑term pressure.
