Your Life. Your Business. Your Future.

Last week, we hosted our final Momentum 101 of the year showing prospective new insurance brokers that the path to starting their own independent brokerage is within close reach.

New of consolidation has continued to dominate headlines this year, but Nigel Bartlett and Ben Hasler see it as an opportunity to capitalise on the personal nature of broking.

This episode is focussed on someone who has set up their own brokerage in one of the furthest corners of the UK and works tirelessly to serve his local community. I'm pleased to welcome Adam Stanger of Orkney Insurance Brokers.

Adam's journey into the world of insurance started after he left school to work at the Bank of Scotland, then took some time to travel and explore. The last 16 years have been in broking, starting his own business in 2022.

We talk about:

• The importance of a truly local broker - and how different it is working on the island of Orkney
• The challenges of Scottish broking, especially with the centralisation of underwriting in England
• Orkney's rich maritime history

We focus on Compliance and Governance - a crucial area for brokerages, both new and established. Joining Alistair Body are two members from our very own Compliance Team: Steve Walton, Quality and Compliance Director and Helen Webster, Quality & Compliance and Onboarding Coordinator.

Together, they discuss:

✅ The importance of compliance with an example that saw a brokerage being wound up

✅ How they’re expanding learning tools to better support CPD points

✅ Effective oversight and partnership strategies for Appointed Representatives

Steve and Helen also share their forward-thinking perspectives on fostering partnerships, maintaining transparency around complaints, and preparing for the next wave of regulatory changes.
