I have a rare and unique opportunity with a truly independent insurance broker who are expanding in the South West, and this is the kind of role that feels more like a chance to shape something than simply step into it. Verlingue are building from the ground up in a region that everyone overlooks while they fight over Bristol, and that is exactly why this stands out. The Bristol market is saturated. The real opportunities are tucked away in places most brokers never bother to explore, and that is where this role comes alive.

Increase your chances of reaching the interview stage by reading the complete job description and applying promptly. You will be working directly with a hiring manager who knows exactly what she wants. This is not another generic producer role, and it is not for someone who wants a comfortable handover or a ready?made book. She is looking for someone who understands their patch, someone who can walk into a room and instantly build rapport, someone who genuinely wants to create, not inherit. There will be no micromanagement and no hand?holding, but also no 360 support to lean on in the early days. That means this suits someone who is capable, steady, curious and hungry, a person who takes pride in doing the job properly and sees opportunity where others see inconvenience. There are no income targets in year one. The first year is about laying foundations, creating conversations, building a pipeline and putting your roots down in the right soil. Year two brings realistic expectations, around the £30,000 to £50,000 income mark depending on how you land, but you are given everything you need to succeed without the pressure cooker environment of a consolidator. Verlingue prioritise long?term thinking, genuine autonomy and trust. They care more about attitude, potential and authenticity than whether your CV ticks every traditional box. You will be part of replicating the culture that has already made Birmingham so successful, a culture that is ambitious without being cut?throat and supportive without being smothering. Your work will focus on complex global risks, PI and the interesting, unusual pieces that remind people why broking can still be exciting. xehkeey This region is wide open, full of possibility, and crying out for someone with the confidence to make it their own. This is for someone who wants more than a job. Someone who wants to build something that has their fingerprints on it. If that is you, you will not just fit in here, you will thrive.
