So what’s new?

Localised flooding, on-line capabilities and competition from non-traditional financial providers like supermarkets have changed the general insurance landscape and products offered. Sophisticated tools like flood mapping developed with the environment agencies are enabling underwriters to pinpoint flood hotspots and adjust premiums to reflect the level of risk. SMS messaging to update customers on claims is another angle. You could play a major part in driving exciting projects like these forward.

Reinsurance (where insurers take out their own insurance to cover their claims) is huge growth area. During times of economic uncertainty where insurance capital has come under pressure, the need for consulting and underwriting skills has opened up vast opportunities and competitive salaries for highly skilled insurance professionals.
