My sister has just returned to the UK after five years working in the Cayman Islands. She had a provisional DL over here, which has probably expired. She passed her test out there and has been driving for three years or so.

I've been asked to help her find a decent insurance policy. She's about to by a T-reg 1.8 Focus (worth £500) from a relative. She's 32 will be living in Brighton and will be driving comfortably less than 10k a year I'd guess. I've suggested putting one of our parents on as an additional driver. She had an insurance policy as a provisional licence holder, but this is near enough five years ago, or perhaps a little more.

She'll need to sit a UK test within 12 months regardless (Cayman is not on the DVLA's straight swap list), but I'm not sure how much extra cost may be involved insuring on a no-UK licence.

Aside from plugging details in to Confused, can anyone recommend any decent brokers or firms to call?

Adrian Flux can be good as a broker.

Saffron are my personal choice - small but very efficient (http://www.saffroninsurance.co.uk/)

If you live in the right area then NFU Mutual (they only cover rural areas) can be helpful.

I'd recommend Greenlight. They have always found the best price for me so I don't even bother shopping around anymore.
