Who are the Jensten Group?

Our Group is structured to be a leading retail broking business.

We will achieve this by having three distinct but complementary and integrated components – we work and behave as one business, joined up and collaborative. One business, one set of principles, values and common goals.

Our core retail broking capabilities – Jensten Insurance Brokers

Our in-house retail broking operations working as regional centres of excellence, supporting SME, mid-market commercial and personal lines customers with specialist needs.

The businesses within this part of the Group include Jensten Insurance Brokers, Packetts, Advance, Enhance and Travel Risk Professionals.

Our Coversure franchise network

Developed over 35 years, providing a unique lifecycle support framework for local entrepreneurs to set-up their businesses initially, long-term assistance with helping them to grow and an end-of-lifecycle option of selling them back to the group.

Our Wholesale Division consisting of underwriting and London Market broking

Sourcing the best capacity and delivery method for the specialist needs of retail brokers, whether that be from our own capacity in our MGA, Jensten Underwriting, or sourced from the London market by our Lloyds broking operation, Jensten London Markets.

As a fast-growing business, there are always opportunities at Jensten for people who are looking for a place where ambition and excellence thrive

Our goal is to have people in our Group that enjoy being part of one team with the shared commitment to delivering insurance distribution excellence. A big part of how we do this is by listening and then acting on what we hear. Our EVP work is key to maintaining and enhancing our culture and making Jensten Group a fantastic place to work, learn and grow.
