UK's largest independent insurance broker with 150+ global locations
Ardonagh is a 9,000-person insurance distribution and brokerage network operating across the UK, Ireland, and international markets. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward sales (135 roles) with smaller support and operations teams, reflecting a business fundamentally organized around broker placement and client relationship expansion. Active projects center on placement strategy, new business pipeline development, and M&A activity, while pain points signal operational friction around legacy systems, FCA compliance, and retention—typical scaling challenges for a consolidation-heavy broker network.
