www.baylis.biz Simon Baylis Associates • 39 Blackwell Close
Higham Ferrers • Northamptonshire • NN10 8PJ NAME: Andrew Kelly
COMPANY: Towergate Northamptonshire JOB TITLE: Area sales director, insurance and risk advisor
WHAT DOES YOUR ORGANISATION DO? We specialise in the placement of Commercial Insurances. Our expert team of trusted advisors will strive to achieve the optimum Insurance Broking and Risk Management programmes. We work with all the major UK insurers, as well as in specialist markets and Lloyds of London.
HOW DID IT ALL START? Having studied a business and law degree, I was offered a role in a solicitor’s practice in Dublin (upon successful graduation). In the meantime, I had booked a skiing trip but the trainee wage wasn’t enough to pay for it! Around the same time, I had a call from a recruiter regarding a position as a graduate account executive at a corporate insurance broking firm that paid a decent wage. The day after the interview, I got a call from the MD to say the job was mine. Skiing was excellent and 19 years later I have a great career in insurance.
‘WORK HARD
WHAT’S YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR? Having a loyal client base, Northamptonshire has been kind to this Irishman.
AND DOWN THE
LINE REMEMBER TO PASS ON YOUR EXPERIENCES TO SOMEONE ELSE’
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE STARTING OUT? No matter the job, people are people. Work hard and down the line remember to pass on your experiences to someone else.
WHICH BUSINESS PERSON DO YOU MOST ADMIRE? In many ways my parents can be the only answer. The risks they took way back in 1980 have opened many doors that enabled me to go to University which in turn led to working in insurance.
WHAT MADE YOU JOIN NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CHAMBER? Although Towergate have been members for years, we’ve recently re-engaged with the Chamber to really utilise our membership. We have used numerous resources from networking, to inbusiness articles and use of the website. Our wider team is making connections with local businesses and it’s a great facility to keep in touch with the Northamptonshire business community.
