Important update
    Changes to future finance agreements

    Due to some business changes, a number of customers won’t be able to take out finance agreements with Close Brothers to cover the cost of their insurance policies in the future. This change will not happen immediately, and we will be working with brokers over the next 6-12 months to organise a smooth transition. This does NOT impact any current finance agreements OR existing insurance policies.

    What has been your biggest achievement in the last month? 


    To remain calm and collected in all the chaos that is happening in the world out there, the cost of living crisis is not helping people out there, so I'm doing the best I can in todays times to meet the clients needs, as this is important to me.

     

    What has been the biggest challenge you have overcome in the last month?


    Remaining calm and collected. We do take on quite a bit of criticism with the way the world is turning at the moment. Being able to empathise with the client is key here, they appreciate it when they know we are listening.

     

    What are you excited for in the upcoming months?


    For the last 5 years I've taken everything one day at a time. I cannot predict what is happening in the next couple of months but look forward to the challenges ahead. 

     

    What are your aspirations for the future at Close Brother Premium Finance?


    I will always be a credit controller at heart so I have found my place, one day I aspire to be a deputy to my manager Sarah Norton.

     

    What do you enjoy most about working at Close Brothers Premium Finance?


    I have been with the same team for the last 17 years so I've found my place and my family in Close Brothers Premium Finance. I have my account managers, my client and my brokers and they all keep me well and truly busy.
