International Insurance and Reinsurance Brokers

Tysers Fixed Term GraduateTraining Programme

Introducing Tysers

Tysers can trace its history back to 1820, so we

know a bit about change.

Having traded independently through the

insurance cycle for nearly two hundred years,

we understand the importance of being client

focused, of integrity, keeping abreast with

developments in world insurance markets,

of being forward thinking, and never being

complacent.

We have a purposeful management team in

place, are constantly updating our systems and

business processes to enhance efficiency, and

continue to maintain our focus on attracting and

retaining personnel of the highest quality.

With our well spread, worldwide client base, we

are strong in many areas and are particularly

proud of our track record in emerging markets,

where we have worked with government

offices, private sector insurers and foreign

investors for many years.

“Having worked my passage through Tysers over 40 plus years, I have ever more pride in what has been achieved by all those who have shown commitment and energy to the company and in order to take the firm forward our investment in young, motivated talent is a given. We need to attract people who can contribute to an exciting work environment and become part of the business.”

Christopher SprattChairman

Tysers is a leading independent Lloyd’s broker. We provide a professional

specialist service backed by experience to deliver superior risk solutions to

a global client base.

Why choose insurance as a career?

Tysers vision for graduates

The aim of the Tysers Graduate Programme is

to ‘grow our own’ talent by developing bright,

articulate and motivated individuals, whilst

providing them with an opportunity to gain a solid

understanding of all aspects of Tysers’ business

and its strategic goals.

The rotational programme will enable you to spend

your placements in different areas of the business

giving you the knowledge to help you choose an

area of specialism. You will be working alongside

some of the industry’s leading experts and you will

be fully supported as you study to achieve your

insurance qualification.

The success of Tysers and our employees goes

hand in hand. You are our future business leaders;

a pool of talent with a sound understanding of our

business. So we will ensure that you have the skills

you need to perform to the best of your abilities.

Insurance is at the heart of the global economy and

the UK insurance industry is the third largest in the

world. It is an essential part of the UK’s economic

strength, managing investments accounting for

25% of the UK’s net worth, contributing nearly £12

billion in tax revenue* and employing over 320,000

people. Without it, the world would look very

different.

There are a huge variety of risks covered by the

insurance industry from cars and houses to ships,

planes and satellites. Kidnap and ransom cover is

required by those working in the world’s trouble

spots, oil pipelines need terrorism cover and events

such as the Olympic Games and music festivals

could not take place without insurance.

The insurance industry as a whole actively

encourages personal development, often

subsidising professional qualifications.

Opportunities are available to all, regardless of

your background.

Anna GregoryI joined the Graduate

Scheme in 2011 on a

rotation programme. After

6 weeks I was given the

opportunity to join the

terrorism and political

violence team on a permanent basis. This allowed

me to specialise in a growing market early on

in my career and to start developing our client

relationships. Since then I have travelled to Dubai,

Bangkok, Guatemala, India, Singapore, and several

other Asia Pacific countries in order to create new

business opportunities and understand our clients’

requirements on a more personal level. In this time

I have also studied and become ACII qualified.

Henry SprattThe time I spent on

the Tysers graduate

programme served as

a unique and insightful

introduction into the

different insurance

classes of business. The variety of work on the

programme has helped to shape my overall

knowledge of the London Insurance market from

an operational to a global perspective. Working

alongside the various industry practitioners at

Tysers has been an invaluable experience and an

opportunity that has supported my understanding

of the industry, whilst providing me with the

grounding to personally develop within it. Since

completing the graduate programme I have worked

with a number of different clients across various

lines of business and I’ve had the opportunity to

travel to meet with new and existing clients in

North America.

Rose MacLachlanAlthough I have only

spent 7 months on the

Tysers grad scheme

it has so far been an

invaluable experience.

Tysers isn’t a large

company, but as a result I have had the chance to

meet and learn from people from all areas, taking

with me experience that will aid me as I advance

through my career. The rotations so far have been

important for my development within Insurance,

allowing me to get involved in a variety of business

and progress personally. Tysers has made me feel

instantly welcome and part of the company and I

look forward to the knowledge and experiences

that I will take with me as a move round the

company.
