Personal Lines Account Handler

Before working at Routen Chaplin, what was the most unusual or interesting job you have had?

My first job was in a pub, this was particularly interesting because of the variety of people I met and the stories they shared. It gave me the opportunity to hear about different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives which made every shift unique. I really enjoyed the social aspect of the role and the chance to interact and connect with people on a personal level.

Do you have any particular niche in any insurance specialism?

I deal with all personal lines products here at Routen Chaplin, however, I would say my strongest area is arranging Home and Property insurance policies, particularly complex cases and unusual properties.

How did you come to take the role at Routen Chaplin?

I previously worked for larger insurance companies, so when I was presented with the opportunity to be part of a local brokerage, I was excited for the role. I truly value the personal connection that comes from interacting with people from the local community face-to-face.

How would you describe yourself as an individual?

I would say I am a dedicated & approachable person. I thrive off genuine connections and meaningful conversations as I find real purpose in helping others, whether this be in my personal or work life. I value kindness, strong relationships and creating positive experiences.

Sum up your job in three words 

Varied, Challenging, Rewarding

What do you like doing outside of work?

I love spending quality time with my family, whether that’s days out, relaxed evenings at home, or gaming together. Family time is really important to me and keeps me grounded. I also enjoy trying new foods and exploring different cuisines. When I can, I love going on holidays, whether it be a short trip or a longer break as I enjoy exploring new places & making lasting memories.
