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

I help support the brokers in the administration of insurance placements. I prepare the slips, send the quotes to clients, send the evidence of cover to the clients, send the policies off for invoicing, and complete any mid-term adjustments in the policy.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

I really enjoy my programme. One of the things I enjoy the most is that we often have meetings/events with the entire cohort which has caused us to become really close, and it enables us to hear about other aspects of the business.
