There are some very talented people in our area and this award is an excellent opportunity for local companies to recognise the hard work and dedication of some of their younger employees.

Entries from all local employers, large or small, are welcomed. So if you know someone deserving of recognition, let us know!

The judges will be looking for someone who has:

Proactively developed themselves during the last twelve months either through completing institute examinations or through any other form of professional or vocational study, and who has also during the same period:

- Either successfully contributed to a work-based project of benefit to their business, or

- Successfully participated in a community-based project that brings the insurance profession into good repute, or
