In what has been a bruising – to say the least – year, it has been heartening to see the quality of entries to the Health Insurance & Protection Awards 2020.
More than heartening, in fact. It’s been great fun analysing the entries. There has been some outstanding work that has gone on across the sector.
But it has also been a headache. Trying to whittle all of the entries down to a shortlist – and then to decide a winner in each category – has not been easy.
It has been tougher this year, even more so than before.
But as independent industry watchers, it has also been fun.
Among the shortlisted entries are examples of quite brilliant, entrepreneurial work, helping everyone – including the man or woman on the street, families, SMEs (profitable and those trying their best to be) as well as the largest of corporate heavyweights – make sure lives and health are protected.
Hopefully all of that work does enough to make sure people who are in a pickle don’t have to worry about cash and that companies can keep on making it.
Well, that’s the idea anyway.
So thank you to everyone who entered. Let’s keep up the good work.
