Celebrating the achievements of women in insurance
The judges have done judging thing and the shortlist for the 2019 Women in Insurance Awards can be announced (see the shortlist below)
To have made it on to the shortlist from the hundreds of entries that the judges had to consider is a real achievement and as you will see from the length of some of the shortlists, the standard of the entries was excellent. So huge congratulations to everyone who made it.
From this shortlist, the judges will come to a final decision on the judging day on October 15th which, based on the difficulty in creating the shortlist, promises to be a testy affair!
