About Us:

The Jensten Group was launched in 2018 and is now one of the UK's largest independent broking groups. Growing organically and through strategic acquisition, we now place over £650m Gross Written Premium (GWP) into the market via our retail insurance broking, Lloyd's and London Market broking, and specialist underwriting arms.

We fill the void in the market between a consolidator and a provincial broker. We have the scale, ambition, and expertise to stand out, but the people, culture, and entrepreneurial DNA to maintain our client focus. This is why we are not just one of the leading independent insurance groups; we are one of the most exciting too.

And that is why you should join us!
