COVER Customer Care Awards 2022: Shortlists revealed!

COVER is delighted to announce the shortlists for the Customer Care Awards 2022, with winners to be announced during a ceremony at Montcalm Marble Arch, London on 28 September.

At the heart of every protection and health insurance policy is a human being; these awards celebrate excellent customer service offered by providers operating within the life, protection and health insurance space.

The Customer Care Awards provide a chance to recognise the ‘unsung' heroes working across our industry: The claims handlers, underwriting teams and online services; the intermediary support and marketing individuals that are all truly making a difference behind the scenes at insurers and service providers.

There are 12 awards aimed at organisations and four open to individual applicants, including the coveted Outstanding Protection and Health Leader and Young Insurance Person of the Year awards.

We also have new categories for 2022, including Outstanding Case Study Success, Outstanding Use of Technology and Outstanding New Partnership.

The Customer Care Awards 2022 ceremony will take place on 28 September at Montcalm Marble Arch, London, following the Claims & Underwriting Forum taking place earlier in the day.

Congratulations to all those shortlisted!
