  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My job title is an Aon Apprentice. My daily tasks have shifted now more towards client work having being more admin prior to this and me gaining experience. I converse with my collegues in the office and around the country as well as insurers and occasionally clients themselves. I have now been handed 4-5 of my own clients which i will service and be the day to day contact for.
