• Travelling nationally to meet with new and existing clients to build and enhance relationships and generate new business referrals.
• Contributing to New Dawn Risk’s ongoing strategy development and planning.
• Supporting New Dawn Risk’s training objectives through structured training sessions of the broking and account management teams.
• Engaging with key insurers and supporting our broking teams in placing new and renewal business.
