New broker category among expanded industry awards

The annual Australia and NZ Insurance Industry Awards will feature two categories for brokers this year and a new category for underwriting agencies.

The Broker of the Year category has been split into two separate awards, comprising Small-Medium Broker of the Year and Large Broker of the Year.

The awards already recognise a general insurer, insurance leader, law firm/practitioner, life insurer, loss adjuster, reinsurer, risk manager/team, service provider, good governance and practice, services to the community and innovation.

The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) runs the awards in collaboration with a Singapore publisher.

Applications close on May 7 and are available through the ANZIIF website. The awards will be held in Sydney on July 30.
