Now in their 15th year, the British Insurance Awards are based on a partnership between the judges, the magazines involved, the sponsors and the organisers. The awards showcase top class performance and innovation, they reward achievement and they raise standards.
The judging panel of market experts and practitioners, analysts, consultants, industry commentators, and political and trade union representatives have a genuine expertise in each category, ensuring that the expertise is shared by at least 2 judges to spread the load and to ensure that no prejudices, gaps in knowledge of conflicts of interest cloud the decision-making process.
Success at the Awards has become the benchmark by which the industry judges itself. Each year the finalists and members of the industry gather at the gala evening to celebrate the success of the past year. The awards evening is one of the most noted and spectacular events in the insurance industry’s calendar attracting leading figures in the industry.
