If you are searching for a podcast offering insight into the world of broking, you won’t want to miss this episode of The Voice of Insurance, featuring James Baird and Paul Richards, co-CEOs and Managing Partners of Consilium.
Brimming with enthusiasm in their relatively new home in the Aventum fold, James and Paul discuss their unique approach to growing business in an extremely favourable market. Without resorting to private equity backing, debt leverage, external equity investment or acquisition, Consilium uses technology to drive organic growth. But how is that different.
The Broking Revolution
What sets Consilium apart from other brokers is its progressive mindset on the application of technology in broking. Having developed much of our tech in-house, we use it to drive organic growth, rather than relying on external funding or acquisition. This approach allows Consilium to focus on building a stable and sustainable culture that is attractive to both customers and employees.
As part of the unique approach to company culture, employees-to-be must pass the ‘barbecue test’ as part of the recruitment process. This means only hiring people that you would be happy to invite to a summer barbecue.
Despite being a young broker with an average age below that of many competitors, Consilium has already placed $500mn of Gross Written Premium and has ambitious growth targets. Our success lies in our ability to strike a balance between innovation and tradition, using technology to support our traditional approach to customer service and broker-client relationships.
From our unique approach to growth and culture to the progressive mindset and less-than-typical approach to hiring, balancing a blend of innovation and tradition helps Consilium to provide the best possible service. Listen to learn what else makes Consilium so… Consilium.
