“You’re fired!”
As fans of The Apprentice will know, launching and running your own business is not for faint-hearted.
The London insurance market is however home to a wealth of entrepreneurs; creating broking
and underwriting business or founding support services. David Howden, Stephen Catlin and Steve McGill, to name but a few, have all created and run businesses that are now worth millions of pounds.
An appetite to take risk is clearly a fundamental part of the DNA of this market as is the desire to carve your own path. So, if you see your future as the next Lord Sugar, beginning your career in specialty insurance is not a bad place to start.
