Gallagher has created a new regional award to recognise insurance professionals who display both dedication to the industry and commitment to the Northern Territory.

The Gallagher Stewart Cox Memorial Award ‒ Legend of the Industry, recognises insurance professionals who display both dedication to the industry and commitment to the region.

Mr Cox, who was leader of Gallagher’s Darwin, Katherine and Alice Springs branches, died in December after a long illness. Accolades he had gained included an Order of Australia for his services to the community, as well as the 2017 Northern Territory Insurance Senior Broker of the Year Award.

The inaugural Stewart Cox Memorial Award winner will receive a trophy and up to $5000 for a professional opportunity of their own choosing.

Nominations close on September 23 and can be submitted here. The winner will be announced at the Northern Territory Insurance Conference on November 1 at the Darwin Convention Centre.
