Congratulations to the Winners of the Territory Insurance Awards

Winners from left to right Candice Lucas, Sarah Kempton, Dale Demarco, Wayne McDonald, Angela Pilcher, Amanda Derrick.

I had the privilege of being one of judges entrusted to chose the most appropriate winner in 6 categories for the inaugural Territory Insurance Awards held in Darwin last Friday evening.

LMI have been a long term supporter of the efforts of the insurance industry in the Northern Territory and the TIO in particular in the continuing professional development of the practitioners in the Northern Territory.

Being primarily a claims services company and with my own background in claims, as soon as I heard that the awards were to take place I pledged our support and LMI sponsored the award for Property Claims Professional.

Back in the role of the judges you hear judges often say that it was a tough job and in this case it certainly was as, in the main, the quality of entries was very high.

My hearty congratulations to the winners of the awards. You all are great ambassadors and role models for the insurance industry.
