About this employer
Purbeck Insurance is a small, but growing, insurance firm based in Rugby, Warwickshire. We sell personal guarantee insurance to Directors of small and medium enterprises (SME). When a Director takes out a loan for their business, a lot of the time there will be a personal guarantee attached to that loan. This means that if at any point the Director fails to pay their direct debit, the lender can then come after their assets. That is where we come in. We protect the Director's position. The work we offer is rewarding, and the company has a great culture, and as a fast growing company the opportunities to develop and progress are there for any new starter looking to begin their career with us.
