Ignite Insurance Systems increases staff headcount by more than a third
The latest recruitment drive has focused on bolstering the business’ capabilities in three growth areas: new business, client support, and research and development.
The need for additional resources has been spurred on by a record number of new broker clients in the motor and pet markets and existing clients experiencing year-on-year new business growth of 99% in Q1 2023. This is in addition to Ignite’s continued investment in innovation as it rolls out further phases of its AI querying technology into its broker system.
The business’ recruitment strategy is underpinned by its commitment to diversity and encouraging women to consider a career in technology and insurance broking. Of those who have joined the company in the last six months, over a third (35%) are women, well above the industry average of 26%.
Toby MacLachlan, managing director at Ignite, said: “It’s very exciting to welcome so many new faces to the Ignite team, which is a testament to our continued growth and commitment to delivering for our clients.
“Bringing new talent and expertise into the business comes with its challenges but will ultimately bolster our ability to drive further innovation and change across the market. As we work with ever larger clients, we must continue to invest in experienced and high-calibre people to keep delivering for our new clients at pace. The support from our parent company Verisk has been invaluable in allowing Ignite to keep pace with the demand for our system.”
