They were joined by valued sponsors and business partners, who heard from Nationwise Founder and Director Graham Crouch, CEO Gus Kininmont, Viking General Manager Simon Gwynne, and Viking GM of Sales Wade Collins.

Simon paid tribute to the Brokers who had already joined Viking and thanked the wider Viking team for their hard work and focus on providing superior service and support to those Brokers. “One of the most important parts of any successful business is the quality of its people. We have established a very experienced and highly respected team to lead Viking. I’m super proud of the team and its achievements in such a short period, and I’m even more excited about what the future may hold.”
