What's a typical day for you?

Working with intermediaries to identify where GI currently stands in their business and working with them on a clear plan on how we are going to achieve their GI aspirations together. The role is very much on a consultancy basis with support as much or as little as required, but always seeking to add value to the brokers we work with.
