Insurance claims market, meet the 2023 judging panel

The very best of insurance claims are preparing to compete for 2023

We’re delighted to reveal the independent judging panel for the British Claims Awards 2023!

These are the judges who will receive, review and score your submissions for the 22 categories being contested at the 2023 awards, to recognise the best organisations, teams and practitioners the UK insurance claims market has to offer (although we are expecting to potentially add one or two more judges in the next week!).

2023 judges

Alan Vallance
Chartered Insurance Institute

Chris Jones
International Underwriting Association of London

Julia Graham
Airmic

Laurence Besemer
Forum of Insurance Lawyers

Michael Keating
Managing General Agents’ Association

Dr Marc Sweeney
Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters

Lisa Frampton
Financial Services Compensation Scheme

They will meet virtually around two weeks after the 17 March 2023 entry deadline to finalise the shortlist and confirm their winners.

The 2023 judges are all experienced insurance professionals hailing from a variety of insurance trade associations and institutes, ensuring that they’ll bring years of experience and expertise to the judging process while staying impartial.

They are chosen for their positions at organisations that represent the insurance industry, have no financial ties with the British Claims Awards or Claims Media, and must declare conflicts of interest and not participate in the judging of any categories where a conflict exists.

During the judging process, the judges must deliver a score for each submission considered. An average of all of the judges’ scores for each submission in that category is then taken, to come to a final determination that is as free as possible from biases.

If you want to have your organisation, teams or practitioners considered by this fantastic panel, then you need to enter the British Claims Awards 2023 by 17 March at the latest.

There are many reasons to enter, ranging from boosting staff morale and increasing retention to benchmarking your offering against our independent judging panel.

Entering is easy, too, with 250 to 1,000 words or a three-minute video all that’s required to enter any single category. It’s also free to do so.

We also offer loads of support, with a member of our team on-hand to guide you through every step of the process. We’re also sharing our tips for putting together a killer submission.

Don’t forget that there’s a fantastic live ceremony to attend in London this June, where the finalists will meet to socialise, network and celebrate in style.

If you have any specific questions, please do get in touch with the British Claims Awards team.
