Blog: Supporting insurance people when they need us most
Victoria Sutton, marketing and communications manager at The Insurance Charity, explains why it is engaging with Broker Expo at the NEC on 8 October and what it can do to help brokers in need.
Broking is built on supporting clients through challenging times, but people working in the profession can face challenges of their own. The Insurance Charity offers financial support and practical guidance to current and former insurance professionals in the UK and Ireland.
