COMMENT: Winning an InsuranceERM award isn't everything - it's the only thing!

“Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing.” So said the great American football coach Vince Lombardi.

Lombardi was right. Because to paraphrase another famous quote “Winning isn’t everything, but it beats anything that comes in second.”

With the launch of InsuranceERM’s UK & Europe 2021 awards this week, the chance has come for your team, your company, or yourself to savour the sweet taste of success – and bask in the glory and honour that comes with being crowned a winner! 

The awards are a particular opportunity to recognise the great work by insurance teams, companies, individuals and service providers in adapting and performing during the Covid-19 crisis, in what has been an exceptionally difficult year.

 

The deadline for award entries is Friday 11 December 2020.

 

So, please get your entry in! It is a simple process and could be the best investment of your time today.

Winning an InsuranceERM award brings great prestige - and for service providers, it gets your achievement and offering in front of thousands of potential buyers worldwide.

InsuranceERM’s awards are very respected because we receive so many entries, and choosing the winners based on practical evidence is always competitive.  

An independent panel of over 40 judges, all insurance experts in risk and capital management, actuarial issues, technology, asset liability management, as well as diversity, regulation and innovation, decide the winners after rigorous assessment.

The InsuranceERM UK & Europe 2021 Awards feature 37 categories to enter - and include new awards for corporate social responsibility initiative and climate risk management solution of the year.

This year, we are particularly looking for examples of excellence in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic.
