In 2015, James Fletcher started his own business, Malton Road Advisory, which is part of the Westcourt General Insurance Brokers network. “It’s amazing to see how many people within our network have been able to build successful businesses through effective planning, determination, perseverance and proper network,” one of Fletcher’s Westcourt/NAS colleagues told Insurance Business. “James is certainly leading the way in a lot of these aspects, and for any newer ARs who join our network, Malton Road Advisory is a business they should aspire to.” Last year, Fletcher was a state finalist for best performing AR in the Westcourt network. His business achieved almost 100% growth in its second year of operation and is on track to double this in 18 months. Fletcher is also said to be generous with his time and will offer support to any AR within the network who requires it. Ongoing, he mentors new and existing ARs.
