FAQs

Is there a requirement to visit the London office? No, the role is advertised as full-time home working with flexibility, even for those living in Europe.

What are the primary lines of business? The core focus is Hull & Machinery (H&M), with secondary exposure to War Risks and P&I.

Do I need a specific client book? While you will manage a portfolio emanating from Europe, the role focuses on looking after business “as it comes through” as well as existing accounts.

Can I apply if I live outside the UK? Yes, IDEX specifically mentions that they can consider individuals living abroad within Europe.

Expert Analysis

In 2026, the “lifestyle broker” model is a significant trend for independent firms. By stripping away London overheads and offering 100% remote work, firms are successfully poaching senior talent from larger houses. For a Hull broker, the focus on the Greek market is strategic, as it remains the world’s largest merchant fleet by value.

Location & Logistics Guide

The role is technically headquartered in London, but logistics are decentralized. You will require a high-spec home office setup to access Lloyd’s electronic placement platforms (like PPL or Whitespace). This allows for real-time negotiation with underwriters without the need for physical “box” visits. Wikipedia URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London

Career Path

A Senior Marine Broker in this environment can transition into a Regional Director role for European accounts or a Technical Lead for complex H&M placements. The autonomy provided also prepares individuals for Consultancy roles or senior positions within P&I Clubs , focusing on specialized claims or underwriting liaison.
