About Us:

Berns Brett have been established as an Independent Insurance Broker, Reinsurance Broker, Financial Adviser and Risk Manager for over 50 years. Our aim is to provide service levels that are the envy of our competitors.

Jensten is one of the UK’s leading insurance intermediary groups, known for putting clients and people first. Since launching in 2018, we’ve built a standout business in a crowded marketplace — combining scale, deep technical expertise and entrepreneurial spirit.

Jensten is entering an exciting new chapter, with the business evolving into two clearly defined trading divisions: Broking and Product & Distribution. The Broking division will bring together Regional Broking, Specialist Lines & London Markets, and also Network Broking- while Product & Distribution will unite Jensten’s market-leading Schemes & Affinity businesses with Jensten Underwriting. This will enable us to deliver tailored insurance solutions directly to clients and through a network of trusted third‑party broking partners.

Thanks to strong organic growth and a strategic acquisition programme, Jensten is now a Top 10 Independent Broker, placing around £600 million GWP into the market. We employ over 1,000 colleagues across 50 locations across the UK and Ireland and support 93 entrepreneurial franchise holders nationwide.

Our purpose — “Protecting today, empowering tomorrow” — reflects the role we play for our clients, our communities and each other. Our people bring this to life every day through our values: Caring, Curious, Skilled and Bold.

We sit in a unique space between large consolidators and local brokers — big enough to offer capability and influence, yet agile enough to maintain the culture, autonomy and client focus of a truly independent business
