WHY WORK FOR BOLLINGTON WILSON GROUP?

Bollington Insurance never stands still! While I’ve worked at the company for over 20 years I’ve had the opportunity to grow and develop my career as the company has moved forward.

When I started we had one office of around 25 staff and I’ve seen the company grow to one of the largest independent brokers in the UK with over 400 employees and national coverage, and I’m really proud to be part of that.

One thing which hasn’t changed is the culture of work hard and play hard, with some of the best work colleagues you could wish for!

I joined Bollington 7 years ago with no background in insurance. Bollington puts investing in people at the core of their business philosophy; as a result, I have been able to obtain both the Certificate of Insurance and Diploma.

I’m also on track to pass my ACII this year, all of which could not have been achieved without the full support of Bollington who not only pay for me to sit the exams but also provide full training and study days.

I also represent Bollington insurance on the development committee for the Manchester Insurance Institute.

I have worked at Bollington for nearly 15 years in several divisions and the company has grown vastly since I started as the Commercial Typist, going from around 60 employees to over 400.  I was asked to train to become a Commercial Insurance Broker shortly after starting and haven’t looked back, moving to other trading divisions to further my insurance knowledge. 

Bollington have always encouraged growth and training for staff and I feel that Bollington has kept that small family-run feeling, even though we’ve gone from 2 small offices in Bollington village to 5 very large offices across the North West.

I started working at Bollington Insurance Brokers in 2014 after graduating with a first class honours degree in Business Economics at Sheffield Hallam University.

I joined Bollington as part of a company run graduate program, which offered me the opportunity to work in different departments within the company, learning a variety of roles and gaining valuable, well rounded insurance knowledge from experienced, friendly staff members and senior management.

Bollington is a great place to work, they have been extremely supportive in helping me learn and develop my skills, as well as providing in house training to help me work towards achieving the ACII (Chartered Insurance Institute) professional qualification.

In 2003 I joined Bollington in a junior support role aged 17, later developing to a Motor Trade Broker and then a Motor Trade Underwriter.

Throughout my time at Bollington the company have continually supported me and my development, especially with exams and qualifications, and I’ve received lots of encouragement and assistance by various levels of management in furthering my career.

It’s great to work for such an innovative and growing company that’s always looking for new opportunities and ideas, developing both the business and the people that work here.
