Activities are underway to expand the scope of recognitions of outstanding insurance practitioners at the 2023 edition of the Almond Insurance Industry Awards & Consumers’ Nite.

The annual event that brings insurance elites together is aimed at rewarding the “Can do Spirit” of the men and women in the various arms of the industry.

According to the organisers, for the first time since the awards was instituted by Almond Productions Limited, every arm of the industry will be covered in twelve awards categories.  

To ensure the integrity and transparency of the awards, the organisers have assembled the industry professionals who have served in various capacities within and outside the country as the Awards Panel of Judges.
