Kurt insures his future

The partnership between The Prince’s Trust and Ingram Hawkins & Nock has reached new heights as Team participant, Kurt Lewis, is taken on as a trainee.

Ingram Hawkins & Nock, the leading West Midlands based insurance brokers, have been supporters of The Prince’s Trust for 5 years. Since 2005, Managing Director, Liz Foster and her team have been involved in various fundraising iniatives and support opportunities for our young people.

Liz talked to Team participants at her local Team programme at Stourbridge about working in an office, and gave an introduction to the world of insurance. After this, Team participant Kurt Lewis was given the chance to complete a two-week work placement with Ingram Hawkins & Nock.

During the placement, Kurt had the opportunity to work within every section of the office, experiencing underwriting and sitting in on meetings with visitors from partner insurers.

Together with two colleagues I attended the Team Final Presentation and it was very touching to meet those young people again. Kurt made the closing speech and spoke very warmly of his time with Ingram Hawkins & Nock. I was given an opportunity to speak and chose to use that time to promote my belief that every young person deserves a chance and that I admire very much the work done by The Prince’s Trust to ensure that as many young people as possible have that chance.

The Prince’s Trust are delighted that following his successful placement,  Kurt has been offered a trainee position within Ingram Hawkins & Nock.

My experience from working with the team at Ingram Hawkins & Nock was fantastic as they were all so nice. It was unexpected that there were so many interesting things within the insurance industry that all appealed to me. Being offered the trainee position is amazing and I can’t wait to start.
