Atlanta Insurance

Sarah Macdonald is the Early Careers Manager for Atlanta insurance and brings over 20 years’ experience working in Senior Human Resourcing positions for a variety of diverse organisations.  Sarah’s role involves attracting, developing and retaining talent through apprenticeships, internships and graduate programmes. 

Atlanta are one of the fastest-growing insurance brokers and is a major employer in Stoke-on-Trent with offices in Burslem and Trentham Lakes as well as other locations across the UK and Ireland.   Our story started with Autonet in Stoke-on-Trent.  Founded in 1998, Autonet grew to become one of the leading Van Insurance brokers in the UK, with 20 years of consecutive organic growth. Autonet became part of the Ardonagh Group in 2017, with the idea to provide financial firepower to make acquisitions that would support other leading brands to deliver on the digital expectations of customers. The Atlanta Group was formed, and soon grew to include specialist motorcycle brand Carole Nash and high-street home and car broker Swinton Insurance, transforming operations and delivery while harnessing the strength and individuality of each business. More businesses followed, each bringing new expertise that could be shared across the Group.

Think insurance is boring? Think again. We’re a business that is always innovating and always growing. With 2,100 colleagues and 2.3million customers, we offer careers in front facing customer roles as well support roles in Finance, Marketing, Human Resources and IT to name just a few.  Our Atlanta Apprenticeship programmes are available in all areas of our business and provide you with the opportunity to develop your skills, knowledge and behaviours to grow your career with us. Our people are our super-power and we’re always looking for energetic, dynamic individuals with great ideas. There’s never been a better time to become part of our story.  www.atlantagroup.co.uk
