Vero rewards Australia’s best young insurance broker
Thursday, 24 September, 2009
Anthony Day, Vero’s Executive General Manager Intermediated Distribution, said that Elias was a professional broker who had already gained a huge breadth of experience and had truly demonstrated his commitment to the industry.
"The award gives Vero a chance to recognise Elias, the State finalists and the insurance industry leaders of tomorrow."
Mr Day said that Vero had been celebrating, encouraging and supporting the "up and coming stars" of the insurance industry for 19 years, since the inception of the NIBA Warren Tickle Memorial Award in 1990.
"For Vero, the award is about supporting our young brokers in the development and improvement of their careers. That’s why this year we enhanced the national prize with a trip for two to London to experience the international insurance market with five nights accommodation, a three-day education program and spending money," Mr Day said.
"The entries we received were outstanding and it is always a tough decision to judge the State finalists and national winner."
"Our winners from the past have said that the whole process was a fulfilling and rewarding experience and we look forward to continuing this great sponsorship."
