The Jensten Group’s mission is to create a leading retail broking business which is known for four key principles

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 Tasker Insurance Brokers, Packetts, Advance, HTC and three Coversure businesses that we have acquired over the years (Ilkestone, Huntingdon and City).

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, sourced from the London market, or placed with a carrier by our specialist team

Our underwriting businesses include City Underwriters, Gresham Underwriting and Policyfast. Our wholesale broking businesses include Tasker & Partners, Senior Wright and Tasker Brokers Europe.

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.

Learning and Development

We are proud of our people and their achievements. Our people are key to our sustained success and plans for organic growth.

We offer tailored L&D plans to all of our staff and are proud of our record in supporting CII training, apprenticeships and funded study packages across the Group.

We are lucky to have colleagues who have progressed and developed throughout the business and now offer valuable mentoring and guidance to our next generation of home grown talent.

Sonia joined Policyfast fresh out of school in 2013 as a Trainee Account Handler. She quickly showed her worth and by 2015, was promoted to Operations and Development Assistant. In 2016, Sonia moved to the Products team to gain valuable experience in building product specifications before moving to our City Underwriters team as an Underwriter at the end of the year.

Here, Sonia gained valued experience as an Underwriter within niche products lines in the London Market and, in 2018, when our Jensten Delegated Authority Team was born, Sonia was approached to join them as an Operational Underwriter. In 2020, Sonia was promoted to Operational Underwriting Manager. During this period Sonia has also completed both her Cert CII and DIP CII qualifications.
