This year, inspired by the theme of BIBA 2023 “Rising to the Challenge”, we set out to recognise and celebrate the unsung heroes of the UK insurance broking community, the people who consistently deliver exceptional service and, in doing so, rise to the challenge on a daily basis. We proudly launched “Broker Service Champion” in March - an initiative designed to shine a light on those who go above and beyond to deliver service excellence and honour professionals who surpass expectations.
Published on 6 July, 2023
A commitment to exceptional service is not a concept or buzzword, it’s a value that is powered by people which Broker Service Champion recognises.
We asked the insurance broking community to nominate their colleagues or someone in their network who improve the industry through their unwavering commitment to service, integrity, and customer-focused outcomes.
At this year's BIBA conference, the insurance community voted for their chosen Broker Service Champion at Markel’s stand, demonstrating the overwhelming support and recognition for these exceptional professionals.
While the Service Champions were recognised for their own individual achievements and talents, there were common themes that tied them together:
- Consistently delivering excellent service, regardless of the size of the premium, driven by their desire to always do right by their customers.
- Commitment to continuing professional development sets them apart, as they continuously seek to expand their knowledge and expertise to better serve their clients.
- They serve as role models for their colleagues, elevating the standards of the entire industry through their exemplary conduct and unwavering dedication to service excellence.
Broker Service Champion has become a testament to the power of service excellence and the remarkable individuals who embody it. Through their exceptional efforts, they uplift our industry, inspire their colleagues, and most importantly, ensure that our clients receive the outstanding service they deserve.
We are delighted to celebrate these extraordinary peer-nominated professionals who are ensuring the insurance industry is making headlines for the right reasons. As we continue our journey, we remain committed to fostering exceptional service and recognising the people who make it possible.
