Career Testimonials

We believe that our clients chose to pay for quality and so our aim is to provide the sort of environment in which our staff can justifiably earn the respect of becoming one of your professional trusted advisers. We take training very seriously at CCV and are committed to invest time and money on it.

CCV provides an exciting, challenging environment for our staff in a time of revolutionary change for the insurance industry.

We are committed to enabling staff to develop skills, gain qualifications and improve long term career prospects. We do this mainly through the performance management system and through on the job training and coaching.

“Being part of the CCV group has allowed me to extend my role which now includes that of marketing champion, and premises management including health and safety. I have access to and have taken advantage of training opportunities in both technical aspects and management skills. I have via the intranet and our staff sales forum access to expertise across the group which is reassuring.

CCV is dedicated to providing excellent service to clients from start to finish from sourcing the most appropriate cover to settling claims. CCV is also keen to ensure that staff feel that they are valued and are part of "the team". There is a wealth of training and support available to staff and encouragement is given to take advantage of this. Performance is recognised and rewarded.”

Yvonne Wimbridge, Associate Director – Claims Manager, CCV Southampton

“Training courses are excellent and very well managed, the CCV Sales Forum provides a company wide ability to share problems and resolve issues while promoting each individual business.

CCV has such a wide range of businesses, all with differing requirements that there is always something to learn!”

Ollie Barrett, Director, Infinity Insurance Specialists

“I have been supported through achieving my Certificate in Insurance and am now only one diploma exam away from completing my Diploma in Insurance. Without the training provided in house by BiB and now CCV I would not have been able to complete these qualifications in such a short period of time. I feel that with these qualifications I will be able to progress my career further within the company.

I have also been given the opportunity to diversify my existing skills by applying them to both marketing and broking work. Now that I am a marketing champion I also have access to even more marketing knowledge centrally, which is helping me develop my role further.”

Amy Littleton, Corporate Broker/ Marketing Co-ordinator, BIB

“I enjoy meeting our insurer partners on a regular basis to discuss underwriting and sales performance, service, and development opportunities. I enjoy the exposure I get to senior market professionals and I feel like I wouldn’t get that kind of experience at many organisations this early on in my career.

Within 6 months I had already benefited from two training courses and study support for CII qualifications to assist me in my career development. As a young professional this is very important to me.

It’s a very dynamic environment in CCV; whether it’s an acquisition, an innovative product, or the latest insurer deal – there’s always something new going on.”

Justin Morgan, Insurer Development Executive, CCV

“CCV have provided us as a Broker with the best of both worlds. Our customers still recognise us their established local broker providing top quality service to our clients, with the added benefit of being part of a group providing stability and access to a wider product base, with great market
influence.

Personally, the CCV family has provided me with the opportunity to develop my own knowledge both technically and commercially, speeding my advancement to a more senior role.”

Paul Partridge, Commercial Account Executive, Richard V Wallis

“I really enjoy this role because it is so varied. Every day is different and there is always another challenge on the horizon. It is also of great benefit being part of CCV as they provide an excellent support network, and there is never a question that has remained unanswered.

Being part of a large company like CCV also offers me further progression within the company with more avenues for me to take with my career. There is more than one path, whereas I have previously felt like other jobs left me at a ‘dead end’.

I would like to develop within my current role, obtain my FIT and Cert CII before exploring other avenues to further my development. With such a wide network of businesses and roles it is easy to see progression in my future.”

Karla Hodgson, Personal Insurance Advisor, Moffatt Saunders

“I feel since joining CCV that my career path has changed for the better and that I know what I want to achieve in the future. Access to Training and development is very good at CCV and has improved hugely since January 2010 with the addition of the Training and Development Manager.

CCV is a good place to work, within central support we are like a big family. I believe that the team here will continue to support and encourage me, allowing me to further my career and progress.”

Hayley Ammon, HR Assistant, CCV
