**What we offer you**

We want Gallagher to be the organisation that all our people are proud to be a part of and where everyone can call themselves one of our team. Where our culture is embracing of difference, where you can be the best and, perhaps most importantly, be yourself.

We invest in our talent through leadership academies, mentoring opportunities, professional qualifications, and development programmes. We are able to provide our colleagues with a platform to build on existing knowledge and an opportunity to learn new skills in a continuous improvement environment.

We provide a competitive benefits package, agile working, annual pay reviews, in addition to various flexible benefits (enhanced pension contributions, access to our discount portal and Gallagher Premiership Rugby Tickets to name a few).
