Protection Guru has named the winners of Protection Guru Awards 2022, in its second annual awards ceremony.
A celebration of the hard work and dedication of both advisers and insurers over the last eighteen months, the awards are split into four different categories: Individual Adviser Awards, Adviser Firm Awards, Insurer Awards and Prestige Awards.
Ian McKenna, founder of Protection Guru and director of FTRC, said: “We were overwhelmed by the positive feedback we received last year when we launched the awards for the first time.
“It is important to recognise advisers and insurers who have gone above and beyond, from established advisers to new entrants in the market.
“Our aim is to include categories not usually measured but vital growing the number of families protected, such as the use of social media, and categories recognising new advisers and start-up firms.”
Some of the big winners included Guardian, who won several awards including best insurer for a mortgaged client and best insurer for protecting clients with families.
Other winners included FutureProof, who won protection advice firm of the year, Easy Insure Ltd who won best new protection advice firm and Vitality, who won best insurer for protecting business owners amongst several other awards.
Individual award winners were aplenty; including Karla Edwards of The Protection Parent who won outstanding protection advisor of the year, and Robert Sinclair of the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries who won the dedication to protection award.
Adam Higgs, head of research at Protection Guru, added: “We are very proud to show case the fantastic work advisers and insurers carry out day in, day out behind the scenes ensuring customers have the right protection and support.
“It has been humbling ready many of the entries which describe what a fantastic role this industry can play, and we have some very, very worthy winners.”
