CCV awarded Chartered Broker status

Cullum Capital Ventures (CCV) has been awarded Chartered Broker status by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).

CCV joins a select number of brokers nationwide, including sister company Towergate, that have achieved this recognition, which is awarded to those who meet the highest professional standards in the industry.

CCV executive chairman Peter Cullum said: “Chartered status is an important milestone for CCV and its employees. It reinforces the commitment we have to maintaining and improving standards at all levels, and throughout all of our businesses, as well as further endorsing our professionalism towards our clients up and down the country.”

CII chief executive Dr Alexander Scott said: “We are delighted that Cullum Capital Ventures has embraced the challenge of professionalism and attained Chartered status. It is a mark of distinction that carries with it a significant degree of exclusivity and, importantly, widespread recognition among customers.”

CCV said the company employs a structured approach to professional qualifications, creating an environment of continuing professional development which was instrumental to attracting, developing and retaining the best talent. Currently, more than 200 employees at CCV hold a qualification with the CII which equates to around 40% of all customer facing staff. 

In addition, CCV has almost 50 new employees due to complete IF1 by the end of 2012 – many of which will go on to achieve the full Cert CII within their first year of employment.
