Who are the Jensten Group?

Jensten is one of the UK’s leading insurance intermediary groups, known for putting clients and people first. Since launching in 2018, we’ve built a standout business in a crowded marketplace — combining scale, deep technical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit.

Operating through six specialist divisions — Network Broking, Regional Broking, Schemes Broking, Specialist Lines, London Market Broking and Underwriting — we deliver tailored insurance solutions directly to clients and through a network of trusted third‑party broking partners.

Thanks to strong organic growth and a strategic acquisition programme, Jensten is now a Top 10 Independent Broker, placing more than £650 million GWP into the market. We employ around 1,000 colleagues across 35 locations and support 85 entrepreneurial franchise holders nationwide.

Our purpose — “Protecting today, empowering tomorrow” — reflects the role we play for our clients, our communities and each other. Our people bring this to life every day through our values: Caring, Curious, Skilled and Bold.

We sit in a unique space between large consolidators and local brokers — big enough to offer capability and influence, yet agile enough to maintain the culture, autonomy and client focus of a truly independent business.

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.
