9.1/10

1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My role is to manage various different accounts for Aerospace in the Global Aviation Team, currently domiciled within the UK and Europe mostly. This involves talking with clients, helping with renewal of their policies, those with a new policy helping to set up, speaking with brokers and underwriters to negotiate the best terms possible.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Confidence in being my own person, various computer and technical skills, a lot of knowledge around the insurance industry and market movement. Development on team building and leadership skills. Organisation with having many accounts is key to stay on top of work.

It appears to be very well organised, I am always aware of what is required from myself and when these need to be done. When I send work over for marking there is always a prompt turn around and happy to help with any questions.
