On receiving the award José Manuel said;
“It is an honour to be recognised by the European risk management community with this award. The vision for Brokerslink was to create an alternative in the market distribution by combining the expert insight and knowledge only a local independent broker can provide clients with dedicated insurance and risk management capabilities on a global basis. This recognition is testament to the commitment of the Brokerslink team, our broker partners and affiliates and the supporting insurers and service providers who have enabled the vision to become a reality.”
In addition to José Manuel’s honour, Brokerslink was shortlisted for the “Broker Innovation of the Year” award at the annual event which celebrates and promotes best practice in the risk management community and the companies that support the profession.
