Our Values
Definition: “Company values, also known as corporate values or core values, are the fundamental beliefs upon which a business and its behaviours are based” They are the guiding principles that a business uses to manage its internal affairs as well as its relationship with customers.
It's what we obsess over...
Know what you are good at and be really good at it
If you are not growing you are going backwards
Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler
Looking After Our JMG Group Team
Know what you are good at and be really good at it
We don’t pretend to be the biggest or something we are not. We are really good at recruiting the best people in our market, looking after them and freeing them up to focus on what our customers want from us – professional advice, creating competition for their risk and sorting it out if they have a claim. We pride ourselves on this.
If you are not growing you are going backwards
We believe size is important in our market as, without it, it’s harder to negotiate with insurers on behalf of our clients. Growing organically is everything to us, as it reinforces every day that our simple focus is on point – do everything to win and retain our customers.
Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler
Einstein called it, we believe in it. Risk and Insurance and running a regulated business is complex, and becoming more complex. At every opportunity we try to distil what we do into a format that makes it easy for our clients to understand and make informed decisions.
Looking After Our JMG Group Team
To attract the best team you have to look after them. We invest in our teams constantly to get the best outcome for our clients. The investment takes many forms – continual training (technical, leadership, personal – basically whatever lifts that person into their better selves); a share in the ownership (if you own a bit of it you treat it differently); mentoring; flexible working; the list goes on. We don’t have any real assets on our balance sheet other than our team.
Our History
JMG Group was born out of an MBO of the Glendinning family in November 2020.
The MBO was backed by SYNOVA – one of Europe’s most innovative growth investors and awarded ‘UK Private Equity House of the Year’ four times in the past seven years. Our Group is made up of a growing number of like minded insurance brokers across the UK – many of which have a long and rich history in the insurance market and bring real expertise to the Group. We’ve never lost sight of what made our businesses successful in the first place. Recruit great people who know what they are doing, look after them and always do the right thing by our clients. We may be growing through acquisition, but winning and retaining customers and organic growth is the thing we obsess over.
We are very proud of our growth story but we have never lost sight of what’s important:
