Starting Your Own Insurance Brokerage: Will Your Clients Follow You? with Tom Taylor
What happens when you start your own insurance brokerage and finally reconnect with the clients you’ve spent years building relationships with?
In this episode of Momentum Meets, Alistair Body is joined once again by Tom Taylor, founder of Foxhall Risk Management.
Tom first appeared on the podcast in 2023, during the early stages of building his brokerage. This time, he reflects on what happened after his covenant ended and he was able to speak to former clients again.
They discuss client loyalty, the conversations that went well, the ones that didn’t, the financial realities of starting a brokerage and how Tom’s confidence has changed as the business has grown.
Tom also shares what he would say to experienced commercial insurance brokers who are considering starting their own brokerage but are unsure whether their client relationships will follow them.
A practical and open conversation about starting and growing an independent commercial insurance brokerage in the UK.
Momentum Broker Solutions supports experienced commercial insurance brokers who want to start or grow their own brokerage through its Appointed Representative model.

Momentum 101: From Fear to Freedom: How UK Insurance Brokers Can Start Their Own Brokerage
What does it really take to leave employment and start your own insurance brokerage?
Recorded live on Tuesday 14 July 2026, this session explores the journey from uncertainty to independence for UK commercial and high-net-worth insurance brokers.
Hosted by Alistair Body, the conversation features Adam Stanger of Orkney Insurance Brokers and Chris Harvey of South Wales Insurance Brokers. Both share their experience of moving from employed roles to building independent brokerages of their own.
Together, they discuss the questions many brokers face before making the decision: changing targets, bonus structures, client ownership, income potential, business setup, regulatory support and the fear of leaving a familiar role behind.
You will also hear how Momentum Broker Solutions supports independent insurance brokers through its UK-wide Appointed Representative network, made up of over 110 members, helping Broker Partners retain their clients, protect their independence and run their businesses in the way that works for them.
For commercial insurance brokers and HNW insurance professionals considering starting a brokerage, becoming self-employed or exploring the appointed representative model, this episode offers practical insight from people who have already made the journey.
