"In an industry dogged by aggressive recruiters who have trouble listening to your needs, Lisa is a person who will take the time to listen to your requirements carefully and act upon the information with the highest integrity. She is professional and easy to deal with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone looking for a good quality insurance recruitment agent."

Paul Dooley,
Regional Manager, Arista

"Six months ago, Lockton started working with Nixon Allen to address its recruitment needs across its high-growth regional offices in the North and Midlands areas. Lockton's growth and success in these offices is predicated on the recruitment of the best talent in the marketplace; a process which can be both challenging and time consuming.

Nixon Allen differentiated its recruitment proposition based on a detailed understanding of our needs, and a desire to spend time both researching the marketplace and with potential candidates to ensure they clearly meet our objectives before agreeing to submit them for interview.

This has resulted in a higher calibre of candidate and more success than would otherwise be the case and a fruitful relationship between the two organisations."

Ian Cooper,
Chief Operating Officer, Lockton Risk Solutions

"Being a Regional Managing Director for Europe's largest independently-owned insurance intermediary, I'm used to working with people of the utmost professionalism who display a 'can-do' attitude.

I'm pleased to state that Nixon Allen display these qualities. When I first approached them with a staffing requirement they were willing to invest their time to learn about our unique business culture and worked in partnership with us to construct a candidate profile for the campaign. I was delighted with the results.

Since then I have worked with them on numerous overt and covert recruitment campaigns and they have consistently delivered high calibre candidates across all levels, from junior to managing director.

I would have no hesitation in discussing the most sensitive assignments with them and would be happy to recommend them to my colleagues and business contacts."

Our Candidates

"Having been employed for the same Insurer for some 28 years, seeking another position initially seemed like a daunting prospect. However, I experienced a fully discreet & professional service from Lisa Kempster @ Nixon Allen, who provided friendly support and guidance at each step resulting in my successful appointment as a Specialist Senior Underwriter."

Senior Motor Trade Underwriter,
Leading Global Insurer

"Due to my relationship, I needed to relocate from London to Leicester. I was contacted by Lisa Kempster at Nixon Allen, within 24 hours after registering my details on their site.

I was extremely impressed by Lisa's tenacity and diligent attitude - within a week, Lisa had arranged three potential interviews with suitable employers. From my first dealings with Lisa, I knew that she was extremely motivated, yet she was approachable without the overpowering pushiness that many sales consultants seem to have.

Prior to my interviews, Lisa was very helpful and called to provide preparation techniques. Her support was invaluable and I very much felt that we were working as a partnership.

Having worked within the insurance industry for nearly 20 years, I have had dealings with other agencies, and Nixon Allen by far, have been the most professional I have worked with."

Clare Farrell,
Account Executive, National Broker
