Allianz has won the “General Insurance Company of the Year” award at the 2017 Australian Insurance Awards co-hosted by the Australian Banking and Finance.
The awards, which were announced in Sydney last week, recognise excellence and professionalism across the insurance industry.
Richard Feledy, deputy managing director at Allianz, said the award showed that the firm is headed in the right direction by focusing on customers, but that there was still so much to be done to meet customers' evolving expectations. Simplifying products and services by embracing technology and innovation remains a key priority, the insurer said.
“Allianz Australia is recognised as a leader in developing our people, innovation, and our service,” Feledy said. “I’m very proud of my team who deliver for our customers every day. That said, we still have opportunities to make it easier for our customers to do business with us.”
Feledy said that Allianz would continue to adapt to “continually improve what we do and how we do it” in addressing the changing needs and expectations of customers.
