Congratulations to AJ who recently passed the Cert CII exam to obtain his first qualification.

AJ joined Hazelton Mountford as an apprentice Account Executive in 2022. Since then he has demonstrated dedication to his career in insurance, coupled with an eagerness to learn. AJ has taken the time to work with each part of the business, spending time in Let Property and Claims with our Handlers.

Jake Mountford, Group Director and AJ’s Line Manager, is delighted: “AJ has come so far since he started on his journey with Hazelton Mountford. We’re proud to have him as part of our team and excited to watch his career grow from here.”
