During a transformational period of growth, Jensten has welcomed in excess of 500 new joiners to the group and Amie in her role in the people team is at the forefront of welcoming them onboard.
“My biggest achievement of the year has been getting up on stage and presenting at the Staff Conference. This really pushed me out of my comfort zone but it was such a rewarding experience. I also launched and ran our very first new starter induction session alongside our CEO. The sessions we’ve hosted so far have received amazing feedback.” Amie Studholme

Jensten places significant value on developing our people through our ‘grow as we grow’ approach
I started at Jensten in 2006, having worked for an insurer and a Lloyd’s broker following university. I quickly realised I wanted to grow my career in underwriting. Having started as a Commercial Account Handler, I had several roles including Senior Account Handler, Product Development Manager and am now Head of Property & Casualty Underwriting. These roles have helped me grow my underwriting skills while being able to pass that knowledge to colleagues earlier on in their underwriting career.
The business has supported me to attain my Cert CII and Dip CII qualifications, and I am currently studying for my ACII. I was selected to take part in Jensten’s inaugural Future Leaders Training course, a fantastic opportunity that has helped me develop a broad range of skills, including people management. I am now part of Springboard, Jensten’s dedicated work and personal development programme for women. Jensten provides so many learning opportunities and I’m passionate about embracing them to benefit from the personal development they bring.
