Christian Wakeford MP wants high street brokers to thrive
The former insurance broker chats to Insurance Age about his first few months in Parliament, what he learned from working in the insurance sector and how he is dealing with the coronavirus crisis.
Insurance broker turned Conservative MP, Christian Wakeford, has stated that his time in the insurance industry gave him “experience of the real world” and the communication skills needed to speak to businesses.
“We keep hearing how people don’t want career politicians straight out of uni and working for MPs so having some world experience has been good,” he told Insurance Age.
Wakeford, who first started working in the insurance sector in 2008, was elected MP for Bury South in December 2019.
