If you are already operating at Senior Account Executive or Account Director level and want a role with genuine substance behind it, this will be worth your attention. It will suit someone who knows how to handle significant commercial relationships, develop business sensibly and take ownership of a portfolio without needing to be micromanaged. The attraction here is not just the title. It is the quality of the inheritance, the level of trust attached to the role and the chance to build from a strong starting point in the Greater Reading area.

You will be taking over an £800,000 income book of business, which gives you immediate presence and a meaningful platform from day one. That matters because this is a role for someone who wants to focus on deepening relationships, retaining quality clients and delivering measured growth, rather than being told to build everything from scratch. For the right person, it offers a serious opportunity to step into an established position and make it their own.

The opportunity

This role sits well for an experienced producer and relationship manager who is comfortable dealing with commercial clients at a senior level and who wants a book with enough scale to be both credible and commercially rewarding. You will inherit an established portfolio and be expected to maintain those relationships carefully, while identifying the right opportunities to strengthen and grow the account over time.

There is room here for someone who is already proven and wants a better platform, but it could equally suit a strong Senior Account Executive who is ready to step into a broader Account Director level remit. The key is your ability to manage important clients well, carry authority in conversation and build confidence quickly.

What the role looks like

• You will take full responsibility for an inherited book generating around £800,000 in income, managing renewals strategically and ensuring clients receive the level of advice and service they would expect from a senior broker. Alongside stewardship of the existing portfolio, you will also look for opportunities to develop accounts further and contribute to wider business growth in a measured and credible way.
• This is a visible role. It needs someone who is commercially astute, steady in front of clients and capable of balancing relationship development with strong internal coordination.

Responsibilities

• Taking ownership of an inherited £800,000 income book of commercial insurance business.
• Managing and developing long-term client relationships across the portfolio.
• Leading renewal strategy and negotiating effectively to secure the right outcomes for clients.
• Identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts through broader advice and cross-sell activity.
• Working closely with internal broking and servicing teams to ensure a consistently high standard of delivery.
• Acting as a senior point of contact for clients and providing confident, credible advice.
• Contributing to wider new business and growth activity where appropriate.

Who this could suit

• An established Senior Account Executive looking for a larger inheritance and a more senior platform.
• An Account Director who wants a quality book and the chance to build on it properly.
• A commercial insurance professional with a strong track record in client development and portfolio management.
• Someone who values relationship-led growth over volume-driven activity.
• An individual who is credible, polished and comfortable handling significant client responsibility.

The business

• This is the sort of opportunity that will appeal to someone who wants to join a business where senior hires are given real trust and real room to perform.
• The environment is likely to suit an experienced broker who wants the support of a strong platform but still values autonomy in how they manage and grow their portfolio.

Package / benefits

• Senior Account Executive or Account Director level position.
• Greater Reading area based.
• Inherited £800,000 income book of business.
• Strong foundation from day one, with scope to build further.
• Long-term opportunity for someone who wants a substantial client-facing role.

The next step

If this sounds like the kind of move you would be prepared to explore, the conversation can be handled discreetly and in confidence. For the right person, this is a chance to inherit something meaningful and build on it in the right environment.
