What our apprentices say

Sam Cunningham

“I was part of the 2021 Apprentice intake. Taking on this role is the best decision I ever made. People think insurance is boring, but it really isn’t. I originally joined the Broking team and was given the opportunity to move across to a client facing role to assist me in the career path I wanted to take. I’ve recently been promoted further, to our Multinational team, which opens a whole new world of additional opportunities for me.”

Elsie Holt

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better start to my career. From day one, I was welcomed, supported, and encouraged to ask questions, get involved and take on responsibilities, which helped me learn and develop faster than I ever expected. The opportunities for learning, development and progression have been excellent, and I am proud that my apprenticeship as an Assistant Private Client Adviser has supported me in progressing into my current role as an Associate Client Services Manager.”

Ben Iwanowytsch Cert CII

“I remember finishing college with the dilemma of either going to university or doing an apprenticeship, then I saw this opportunity and I knew it was what I wanted to do. I love how every week is different and the opportunities have been over and above of what I could have imagined. The exposure I have got in my role with a supporting team has helped me grow in such a quick time, I couldn’t recommend it enough.”

Max Chacksfield

“I joined Verlingue in September 2024 as an apprentice, this was the first time they had brought in a large cohort of apprentices and I couldn’t have felt more at home. Everyone was really welcoming and gave us support where needed, but also allowed us to be independent with our own learning. The continued help from my team has helped me to settle in seamlessly and I really feel like a part of the Verlingue family.”
