How NIG are investing in their people
Authored by NIG
If you’ve been following our apprenticeship journey, you’ll know that the 22nd November marked our risk control surveyor higher apprentice’s one-year anniversary.
Since November, they’ve all been working hard to get their National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) and following an intensive 2 week training course they are eagerly awaiting their results at the end of April.
Their trainer Geoff Silver, from Phoenix health and safety, had some lovely words to say about our apprentices and we couldn’t be more proud.
“I couldn’t let time go by without commenting on what a pleasure it has been to meet up with them. A real credit to your organisation (and to your recruitment process). We had 100% attendance, amazing punctuality, and what they lacked in experience they made up for in attitude, professionalism, and maturity. They were an absolute delight.” - Geoff Silver, Phoenix health and safety
They have made great progress since they started 17 months ago and continue to do so. They are currently completing desktop surveys independently and working towards their diploma. They all passed their M93 in Q1 and are now CII accredited!
Congratulations to all our apprentices and we look forward to sharing more progress throughout the year.
About NIG
We’ve been experts in commercial insurance for 125 years.
The National Insurance and Guarantee Corporation (NIG) is a broker only insurer; we believe in getting to know both the brokers we work with and their clients’ businesses, building trusted partnerships that last for the long-term. Our highly experienced underwriting team are focused on working with brokers to identify and understand the risks faced by UK enterprises. Together, with our risk control experts and risk management tools we develop solutions to help UK enterprises reduce and mitigate key exposures. We offer a wide range of products with flexibility to create tailored insurance cover and when clients need us, claims are dealt with quickly and fairly through a proactive claims approach.
Our trading model has been designed to reflect the differing requirements of how brokers like to trade, with regional offices, National Trading Centre, National Schemes Centre, eTrade Centre of Excellence and dedicated experts for specialist sectors.
We’re investing in new technology to make us even easier to trade with. We’re launching an online risk management resource supported by our in-house Risk Control Team and introduced online claims submissions to speed up the claims process, minimising disruption to clients’ businesses. We are also the only insurer two years running with a five-star rating for both TheHub and Software Houses, in the Insurance Times 2019 and 2020 eTrade survey.
