The 2024 NIBA Claims Broker of the Year Award, proudly sponsored by Sedgwick, acknowledges the exceptional contributions made by NIBA members working within claims as part of the insurance broking profession.  

As outlined in the Insurance Brokers Code of Practice (the Code), brokers play an integral role, working with insurers and clients in claims handling and management. The award recognises those professionals who have consistently been outstanding performers in this area of expertise. 

The award recipient will showcase excellence in their claims broking practice and be a leading example of someone who upholds the highest standards of professionalism as a NIBA member. The winner will be able to successfully address the outlined award criteria through examples that include multiple claims or through a single claim, that has demonstrably led to significant improvements in outcomes.
