As the most successful year ever, Covéa Insurance was up for four awards in the most prestigious and hotly contested categories, shortlisted for the General insurer of the Year award, Commercial Lines Insurer of the Year and the Technology Award.

Speaking about the award win Carol commented:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have won Personal Lines insurer of the year, for the second year running, at this year’s British Insurance Awards.  As the awards are judged by very senior, well respected figures in our industry, to come away winners really is a testament to the fantastic progress we continue to make as we grow our business.  The award says so much about the amazing team of people we have at Covéa insurance, who are so passionate about what they do and work so incredibly hard to ensure we can deliver outstanding service to our customers and our broker partners.   I was incredibly proud to accept the award on behalf of everyone at Covéa Insurance and taking centre stage at the Royal Albert Hall, alongside the very best in our industry, really was the icing on the cake”.
