All throughout 2023, Key Media’s 30-strong Intelligence Unit researched and produced a series of Special Reports, each showcasing the top-performing insurance professionals and companies across a number of important professional categories.
All of our 172 published reports over the past 12 months have already attracted 2.4 million online pageviews, as we’ve crowned 5,044 deserving winners globally.
In the process, 220,000 readers across Asia, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US have been sent our surveys. The culmination of all that extensive reporting is our annual Global Best in Insurance digital edition.
The Global Best in Insurance recognizes the insurance award winners from 2023’s Special Reports and features a combined 1,593 individuals and companies from the sector.
This prestigious list provides a definitive annual collection of those who have delivered outstanding results, introduced new initiatives, refined existing working practices, and also acted as a source of inspiration to colleagues.
One winner, IQumulate Premium Funding, underlined its commitment to the industry.
“We are delighted to receive consecutive recognition as a top-performing insurance premium funder in the Australian and New Zealand markets. Achieving titles such as Top Insurance Employer of the Year and 5-Star Technology Innovator for our cutting-edge online quoting tool, IQEdge, highlights our commitment to enhancing the customer experience, satisfaction and service excellence through innovative technology within IQumulate,” says CEO Wayne Tower.
Another winner, JAVLN, echoed these sentiments.
CEO and Founder Dale Smith says, “Being named as a leading technology and software provider is a great testament to how we’re delivering innovation and value to the insurance industry. At JAVLN, it’s our mission to make technology an enabler for brokers and underwriting agencies.”
As a global publisher, our Intelligence Unit dedicates itself to carrying out detailed research, including harnessing our wide-ranging resources to canvass industry experts and knowledgeable sources to determine who is worthy of a place on the list.
