Brunel Group, established in 2005 by founder and CEO Russell Lane, stands out as a dynamic force in the insurance and financial planning sector. With its Chartered status in commercial insurance broking, the firm exemplifies excellence and dedication to client service across its seven UK offices. The Group caters to over 9,000 clients, providing personalised advice to a diverse range of businesses and individuals.

Brunel Group’s commitment to its employees is evident in its focus on wellbeing and professional development. Every team member has access to an Employee Assistance Programme that supports financial, physical, and mental wellbeing. The investment in Mental Health First Aid training enhances the support framework available to staff.

The organisation values continuous professional development, collaborating with national insurers to offer high-level training and funding for work-related courses. The buddy system initiative is instrumental in nurturing junior staff, while annual appraisals allow for open discussions on career progression.

Brunel Group’s vibrant work culture is further enriched by regular team socials and bi-weekly staff newsletters, fostering transparency and communication. The annual ‘Company Day’ and three company-wide parties reinforce the Group’s commitment to employee engagement.

Brunel Group’s dedication to sustainability and community involvement is equally impressive. The firm champions environmental initiatives, working towards a paperless office and collaborating with eco-conscious suppliers. Socially, Brunel Group gives back to the communities it operates in through charity events and sponsorships, supporting causes such as Zoe's Place, Children's Hospice South West, and Great Western Air Ambulance.

It’s fantastic to see such high levels of employee engagement throughout Brunel Group. While the insurance and financial planning arms of the Group continue to thrive and grow, it is important to us that our employees continue to remain as engaged and passionate about the business as they are today. The b-Heard survey is valuable to us to not only highlight our strengths, but allow us to adapt in a way to continue supporting employee engagement further. We are proud to have achieved this excellent result.
