Placing Broker

Placing broker recruitment specialists connecting technically skilled insurance professionals with leading Lloyd's market brokers, wholesale intermediaries and specialist broking organisations across the UK.

At Lawes Consulting Group, we place Placing Brokers who combine deep market knowledge, strong insurer relationships and the technical expertise to secure the best possible terms for their clients across complex and specialist risks.

​Placing Broker Recruitment Expertise

The Placing Broker sits at the technical heart of the broking process, responsible for accessing the insurance market on behalf of clients and securing coverage at the most competitive terms available. It is a role that demands an intimate knowledge of the insurance market — its participants, its appetite, its pricing dynamics and its processes — alongside the relationship skills to work effectively with underwriters across multiple markets and classes of business.

At Lawes Consulting Group, we have extensive experience placing Placing Brokers across the Lloyd's and London Market, as well as within wholesale and specialist broking environments. We recruit across a wide range of classes, including Specialty Lines, Marine, Aviation, Property, Casualty, Financial Lines and Reinsurance, placing candidates at all levels from junior Placing Brokers through to Senior Brokers and Broking Team Leaders.

Market Access and Relationship Management

The value of a Placing Broker lies in their market relationships and their ability to navigate complex placement challenges. The best Placing Brokers know the market intimately — they understand underwriter appetite, they can structure risks effectively and they have the credibility and relationships to access capacity that others cannot. We assess candidates not just on their technical knowledge but on the depth and quality of their market relationships and their track record of delivering successful placements.

The Lloyd's and London Market

The Lloyd's and London Market remains the global centre for specialist and complex insurance risks, and Placing Brokers operating within this environment require a specific set of skills and market knowledge. We have strong connections across the Lloyd's market and understand the processes, systems and relationships that define success in this unique environment. Whether you are looking for a Placing Broker with Lloyd's market experience or a specialist in a particular class of business, our consultants can identify the right talent.
