Gauntlet Group has earned Chartered Insurance Broker status from the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).

The Leeds based commerical insurance company, which also offers risk management consultancy, says it is one of fewer than 200 firms to achieve the title, and it believes the status will assist with its “standing in the sector".

Roger Gaunt, managing director at Gauntlet Group, said: “Rigorous criteria apply to this award and it is a huge endorsement of our professionalism and capabilities and our success in managing our significant and fast growth, without letting standards slip."
