Claims Apprentice 2020: Episode one - Meet the teams
This article was paid for by a contributing third party.
After a rigorous week interviewing rising insurance stars up and down the country, the field has been whittled down to six candidates, all competing for the prize of becoming the 2020 Claims Apprentice.
In the first episode we get to meet the successful sextet as they discuss: why they decided to take part in the Claims Apprentice; what they are looking to get out of the process; and the skills they hope to display which might help them be successful.
Suzanne Liversidge, sponsor Kennedys’ own Alan Sugar, also explains the importance of apprenticeships, what she is looking for, and what traits she expects the eventual winner to show.
Once they have met each other for the first time, our final six – Daniel Brant (UIA Mutual), Alexandra Francis (Axa UK), Isaac Fuente (Nexus Underwriting), Kelly Huddleston (Covéa), Kayleigh Lawson and Taylor McTaggart (both Zurich Insurance) - are placed into teams and set their first task - to come up with a name for their respective trios.
Watch the first episode here, and see who is shaping up to be the successor to the 2019 winner Verity Ross from Zurich.
