Emily Pearce

Emily Pearce

Having left school in summer 2011, Emily knew she wanted to start work, but wasn't quite sure where her destiny lay. She considered various careers before deciding to follow in her mother's footsteps working in insurance. Emily applied to a few insurance companies and brokers in the local area, but didn't consider these to be suitable. Then she came for an interview with CHIS/PrimeCare Insurance and hasn't looked back since. Emily has been spending most of her time working with Katie, who is thrilled to have Emily working with us, as we all are too.
