Bollington Insurance Brokers has announced the launch of a graduate and school leaver training scheme, aimed at ambitious individuals interested in embarking on a career in insurance.
This follows the success of three long-standing employees, who have recently achieved the advanced ACII accreditation through the Bollington Academy.
In recognition of their achievement Kelly Nadin, Simon Ryan and Joanna Taylor were recently presented with awards at the Bollington Annual Communications Day by former England and British Lions Rugby player Dean Richards (photo available on request).
The Bollington Academy was launched as a training and development framework, covering technical insurance and management development to ensure internal talent could match the requirements of the fast growing business.
Having successfully trained over 100 employees through the CII programme over the last three years, Bollington has expanded the Bollington Academy to provide a full training scheme, offering technical insurance training and hands-on experience within the business.
Bollington chairman, Paul Moors commented: “Both Bob Gratton, our underwriting director, and I benefited greatly from the former Sun Alliance Professional Trainee scheme when we commenced our careers. We now want to attract young people from school and from university into the industry through our Grow Our Own initiative which we have implemented. The best of our young people go on to complete premier qualifications such as the ACII to become the new generation of managers and experts in our businesses.”
The Training scheme will also be promoted at schools, colleges and universities.
