The New Business Executive role is one of the most commercially impactful positions within a broking or insurance organisation. Focused on identifying, approaching and winning new clients, New Business Executives are the growth engine of the business — responsible for expanding the client base, generating revenue and building the pipeline that sustains long-term commercial success. Finding professionals who can genuinely deliver in this role requires a recruiter who understands what drives new business performance in the insurance sector.
At Lawes Consulting Group, we recruit New Business Executives across a wide range of insurance organisations, from independent regional brokers through to national and global intermediaries. We place candidates across a variety of market segments, including Commercial, Corporate, SME, Specialty and Employee Benefits, ensuring that every candidate we present has the right combination of market knowledge, prospecting ability and commercial drive.

They are self-motivated, resilient and commercially astute, with a clear understanding of their target market and the ability to articulate a compelling value proposition. We assess candidates on all of these qualities, going beyond the CV to understand what truly drives their performance.
