The Novus Impact Award
The Novus Impact Award 2025 - Sponsored by Zurich
Do you know someone who has made a real impact within their own role, across their business, and the wider industry in a short period of time? Or perhaps that person, is you?
The Novus Impact Award is designed to recognise individuals with less than 10 years of experience in the industry who have demonstrated exceptional contributions. There is no age restriction for this award.
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 manager 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 £250.00 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
