"A claim is ultimately the end product and the aspect the insured relies upon in their time of need. Overseeing the delivery of a quality service is always pleasing. The most rewarding part of the role has to be seeing a good job done all round. When you get positive feedback from brokers or clients it is extremely satisfying knowing that whilst there is always more to do, you are building from a positive position."
