My name:
Matthew
My job:
Administration Clerk
Who I work for:
Adrian Flux Insurance Services
A bit about my job:
I am a member of the Administration department. As a team, we deal primarily with documentation associated with the administering of Specialist Private Car and Motorcycle policies. This involves liaising with our customers and other Insurance companies by post, e-mail, telephone, and fax concerning new policies, renewals, and mid-term amendments. I also assist in developing the skills of new staff in training.
How I got it / Qualifications needed
I attended King Edward VII High School and Sixth Form College. After gaining ten GCSEs along with A-levels in Maths, Biology, and Psychology, and an AS-level in Product Design, I decided that I would utilise my attributes by moving into employment immediately, rather than going to a University first. I felt this would give me an opportunity to climb the career ladder earlier. I soon found employment at Adrian Flux. I started working here in March 2004 and since then I have found that hard work and determination have helped me achieve success in my career thus far. However, I aim to further my career at this rapidly expanding company by utilising their policy of promoting from within.
What I earn:
£20,000 - £25,000
Anything else?
I particularly enjoy being able to offer a personal service to all our clients, as opposed to a 'one size fits all' attitude. Adrian Flux offers specialist insurance policies with a traditional yet modern approach to our customer's needs. I like that my employer rewards hard work with bonuses, prize draws, and other good incentives.
I feel that company funded qualifications (such as those offered by the CII) would enable employees to work towards furthering their career. My employer does not offer this type of scheme at present.
