From helping clients and communities come back from floods and natural disasters to supporting important local events, brokers play an incredibly important role in their communities and for their clients – something celebrated and recognised by NIBA’s 2023 Community Excellence Award.

This award acknowledges the ongoing commitment brokers have to go above and beyond to help their clients and local communities, and truly make a difference. Whether you or a colleague have made a serious impact on your client or community, we’d love to hear about it.
