Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was an intern in the North American Property Broking team. Day to day I helped and shadowed each step of placing insurance for our clients both in the Lloyd's of London market and company markets. I also took part in a group project with other UK interns to investigate Neurodiversity support at the company and in the wider industry.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given responsibility within my qualifications. For example, I attended client meetings, sent emails and submissions on behalf of senior brokers and created quote trackers.
