Testimonials

"I’m thoroughly enjoying my time at Gallagher. I was welcomed by my team from day one and have been made to feel like I’ve been positively contributing ever since. I think this has a real lasting impression on young people entering the world of work, and is something I cherish.
Now over 3 years later, my role has expanded, but that enjoyment is still the same. The company’s focus on development has impacted all aspects of my career, with exam support, skills workshops, conferences and travel all being championed by my managers. Specific to my role, I really enjoy working with international clients, which provides variety in my day-to-day."

"My experience in my role at Gallagher has been incredibly diverse. I began in Enterprise Solutions, which provided me with valuable insights into how the business operates and allowed me to build a number of meaningful connections through the Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programmes.
Now, as part of the Cyber team, I am thoroughly enjoying working in this ever-evolving and dynamic field. I greatly value the relationships I have built and continue to develop with my team, retail colleagues, external clients, and underwriters. I particularly enjoy the wide variety of clients we work with and have been fortunate to receive numerous opportunities to grow and contribute."

"I’ve had a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding career at Gallagher to date. As a leading Global broker, Gallagher has the network, capabilities and support that have provided the perfect springboard to grow my career. I’ve been fortunate to experience various roles within Gallagher Aerospace, including the opportunity to work in an overseas office. Such opportunities are only available at a company like Gallagher, where they actively seek to foster the development of their employees' careers."

"My experience at Gallagher has been both rewarding and diverse. I began my journey as a graduate in the sales team, working in a different part of the Gallagher business for just under a year. Following this, I moved into the Specialty division, where I now focus on the Fine Art, Jewellery, and Specie business.

Working in sales was an invaluable learning experience. From initiating contact with clients through cold outreach to meeting with them and ultimately securing their insurance with Gallagher, I developed skills that will be beneficial throughout my career, regardless of the role.

The team has been incredibly supportive in training me, and I am excited to continue learning and developing my career within the Specialty division."
