Employer Profile

Are you looking to join a company of which you are not an employee number? Has the company you have been working for changed ownership recently and you no longer deem them to be a good fit for your career or perhaps you fear that they will be selling soon? Or maybe you are frustrated because it feels like your current employer values micromanagement and cost-cutting measures more than good quality customer service? If any of these questions, or similar, ring true to you, we welcome you to apply to Stanhope Simpson Insurance, an independent, privately (family) owned brokerage whereby customer service and employee satisfaction are not just buzzwords, they are our ultimate priorities.
