Commercial Account Handler

You may already be handling a decent book of commercial clients, doing the work properly, and still feeling that the role has become too reactive.

Too many renewals. Too much admin. Not enough trust. Not much sense that the bigger platform around you is actually making your day easier.

This Commercial Account Handler role in Stockport could suit someone who wants a better balance of client contact, technical broking and internal support, without losing the stability that matters when you are already established.

We are working on a confidential appointment with an established insurance broker in Stockport. It is a business with the scale, market access and infrastructure to support clients properly, while still offering the kind of local, team-based environment that experienced handlers tend to value.

The opportunity

* This is a role for a Commercial Account Handler who wants to look after clients properly, not just process work.
* You will support an existing portfolio of commercial insurance clients, dealing with renewals, adjustments, market negotiations and general day-to-day servicing. The business has the scale to give you proper market access and backing, but the role itself is grounded in a local office where relationships and service still matter.
* For the right person, that means less firefighting and more scope to do the job well.

What the role involves

* You will work closely with Account Executives and clients across a range of commercial insurance risks, helping to retain and develop business through solid technical handling and dependable service.
* This is likely to suit someone who enjoys the detail of commercial broking, knows how to manage competing priorities, and takes pride in being the person clients and colleagues rely on.

Responsibilities

* Manage renewals, mid-term adjustments and day-to-day servicing for commercial clients
* Prepare market presentations and obtain terms from insurers
* Negotiate with underwriters to secure suitable cover and pricing
* Support Account Executives with client management and retention
* Produce renewal documentation and process policy changes accurately
* Handle client queries in a clear, professional and commercially aware way
* Maintain strong technical and regulatory standards
* Help identify opportunities to strengthen client relationships over time

Who this role could suit

* This could suit an existing Commercial Account Handler looking for a stronger platform, better systems or a more settled team environment.
* It could also suit someone in a broking support or senior handler role who wants to stay close to clients and insurers, but within a business that offers greater long-term stability and wider insurer reach.
* You do not need to be flashy. You do need to be dependable, technically sound and comfortable handling commercial insurance work with care.

Likely background

* Experience as a Commercial Account Handler, Broker or similar
* Good knowledge of commercial insurance products and policy structures
* Confidence dealing with insurers, underwriters and clients
* Strong renewal and servicing experience
* Organised approach and sound technical standards

Why this business

* The appeal here is fairly simple.
* You get the reassurance of a well-backed insurance broker with broad market access and a strong commercial platform, but in a role that still feels close to clients and day-to-day broking.
* That combination tends to matter to experienced handlers.

Salary and benefits

* Salary from £32,000 to £40,000
* Office-based role in Stockport
* Established commercial insurance portfolio
* Strong insurer access and broking support
* Long-term stability within a well-backed broking business
