Hiscox is top of the pops
Insurer crowned Underwriter of the YearHiscox proved its mettle at the Post Magazine British Insurance Awards by
winning one of the most prestigious categories, Underwriter of the Year. Hiscox was also a finalist in the General Insurer of the Year class.
The awards, which took place at London’s Royal Albert Hall in July, are designed to showcase top-class performance, reward achievement
and raise standards across the board.
Speaking about the win, David Sweeney, Business Development Director at Hiscox, said: “Winning the award is a testament to the team at Hiscox and everyone deserves a lot of credit for the hard work they have put in over the past year.” So what made Hiscox shine above the rest?
“We have invested a great deal in staff and training, as well as marketing, so that we can offer more quality to our customers,” says David. As well as launching its first television marketing campaign this year, Hiscox increased underwriting staff numbers by 23 per cent in 2005.
David goes on: “Then there is the whole Hiscox value proposition, servicing the market well and making sure our customers have a productive relationship with us. I think we have proved by the result of the company and our underwriting that it is possible to be consistent with your products, your customers and the service you provide, which has given us a significant edge in the market.”
