Specialist lines underwriting agency, CFC is celebrating the news that it has been awarded a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade.
CFC sells innovative commercial insurance products in 60 countries worldwide through its extensive network of brokers, bringing substantial premium income into the UK each year. The award, acknowledged as the UK’s highest accolade for business success, recognises the firm’s successful strategy of targeting niche sectors worldwide, adapting services to each market, continually pushing boundaries to provide cover for companies that have historically been underserved and putting service at the centre of everything it does. This has seen CFC’s exports grow by over 300% in the last six years.
Commenting on the award win, CFC Managing Director David Walsh said: “I speak on behalf of everyone at CFC in saying that we are proud and honoured to have joined the elite group of companies recognised by Her Majesty the Queen for our contribution to UK business in achieving substantial growth in overseas earnings. This has been a real team effort and I would like to thank everyone within the business for their outstanding contribution as well as our broker partners and capacity providers for their continued support.”
He continues: “Coming just a year after our MBO, I believe the award also reaffirms that the decision to step out on our own was the right one. We passionately believe in what we do and are proud of how far we have come. We could not be more excited about what the future holds and this award will only spur us on to work towards achieving our future goals.”
