Alasdair Stewart, head of corporate development at the CII, stated, "We were delighted with the number and the quality of responses we received from across the broking sector. We spent a considerable amount of time examining all entries. It was a tough selection process and I believe both Heartland and Peter Hattersley deserved to be recognised for all the hard work they have done".
The inaugural CII Chartered Insurance Broker Awards programme, open to more than 2,600 individual CII members and 62 firms holding the Chartered Insurance Broker title, were judged on criteria focusing on professionalism, ethics and exceptional customer service.
