Ben Weller

An enthusiastic and motivated individual with a strong work ethic and varied work experience who is looking to pursue a career in the insurance industry. Over the last two years I have been lucky enough to undertake an extensive travelling adventure starting in Asia, through Australia and then across Central and South America. This experience has been amazing and contributed a great deal to my personal development – building resilience, self-reliance and self-confidence. I have experienced lots of different cultures and have enjoyed adapting to and learning about the different locations I have been lucky enough to travel to. I have had some great work experiences – working front of house in the Ferrari Lounge at the Melbourne Grand Prix, running ski chalets in Chile and working on a horse ranch in Patagonia. During this time I have developed a confident conversational level of Spanish and have undertaken several physical challenges – from completing Scuba Diving Qualifications to climbing active volcanoes and summiting a 6000m mountain.

Having returned to the UK, I am eager to continue my career within insurance. Before travelling, I gained nearly three years of experience in underwriting operations and excelled in this role, enjoying the responsibility of leading a team of seven people. I am searching for my next career move, looking to find a challenging role with opportunity for responsibility, progression and training in a value-driven organisation.
