What was a provision broker in 1901 in liverpool?

Travel Info
the occupation of my great grandad on the 1901 census

Travel Tips
I would have too look this up, but a guess would be someone who organised provisions for ships. Liverpool was the biggest port in the world during the 19th Century and all the ships would need food etc for their journeys. A provision broker would liaise between the captain and the suppliers.

Edit
there seems to be a job described within the insurance industry of a provisions broker. Liverpool still has a thriving financial sector, and of course the Liver Building was the head quarters of Royal Liver Assurance company, so ignore my previous answer it looks like your great grandad was in insurance.
