Professional Excellence Award
Professional Excellence Award 2025 - Sponsored by Zing 365
Do you know someone who is a strong industry contributor, as well as an inspiration to others and has gone above and beyond within their existing job role? Perhaps that person, is you?
The Professional Excellence Award is to recognise the most outstanding and overall star achiever of the year, with no age restrictions or minimum experience level. This prestigious award is to recognise an individual’s success and how they have contributed to the success of the wider team or business they work in as well as the industry as a whole.
You can apply yourself or nominate someone else you feel is deserving of the award.
As part of the awards process, our Awards Officer will contact the references and line managers provided to verify key achievements and understand why the nominee is an exemplar nomination and deserves this recognition.
If shortlisted, candidates will be invited for an interview with our judging panel on Thursday 23rd January 2025. The panel consists of five members: a previous award winner, an IIC council member, an independent expert, a representative from General Insurance and a representative from PFS.
Once the judges have reached a decision, the two finalists, Award Winner and Runner-Up will be invited to the CII annual dinner, where the winner will be announced.
Finalists will receive a complimentary meal and table drinks. The individuals’ names will be featured in the event programme and of course, they will receive a beautiful trophy each!
The award winner will also receive a cash prize of £250 and have their name engraved on the awards silver plate, which they may keep until the next years’ annual CII dinner.
Applicants are welcome from anyone working within the Insurance or Financial Services sector, provided they are either working or living within our CII region. Additionally, they must be a Cardiff CII member with a dedicated personal CII PIN.
Please submit your application by Saturday 30th November 2024 to awards@ciicardiff.co.uk
