Final Awards Shortlists 2019
Following our judging day on 24 April - we have our winners. We can't wait to hand out the awards at the dinner on 11 July at the Landmark Hotel in London.
What a day we had. Robust debate and a few laughs. One lady was nominated in every single category including Best Organisation, Young Achiever and Lifetime Achievement.
Our new "Doing it Better Award" attracted more entries than any category in Protection Review history.
We'd like to thank this year's guest judges Peter Chadborn (Director of Plan Money) and Simon Havinden (from Munich Re, representing the Health Claims Forum).
And having won Best Protection Intermediary 3 years in a row, LifeSearch weren't eligible to enter this year, however, we'd like to thank them for their input into the judging of that category.
