An event organized by FERMA and Commercial Risk Europe

The Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA) and Commercial Risk Europe (CRE) are delighted to announce the launch of the 3rd European Risk Management Awards and gala dinner, which will take place in Brussels on 21 November 2018.

The European Risk Management Awards recognise the highest achievers within the European risk management community. They also reward excellence and innovation within the core service provider sector: insurers, brokers and professional services. An independent judging panel is made up of leading risk managers from within FERMA and its national associations.

Three new awards have been introduced this year. One is the Emerging Risk Initiative of the Year award in the Excellence in Risk Management category group, and there are two rising star categories in the Excellence in Customer Service awards.

Another innovation in 2018 is that risk managers and insurance buyers will be invited to vote online for outstanding service providers in addition to the standard, online entries from companies. Risk managers and insurance buyers will also be asked to submit names of individuals who have shown strength in leadership and an individual commitment to customer service.

The Awards will now alternate between Brussels (the home of FERMA) and London (the home of CRE). FERMA and CRE are delighted that the 2018 awards programme will return to Brussels, where they began in 2016, and that the Belgian risk management association BELRIM will be the host partner. We are equally pleased to announce that the 2019 awards programme will take place in London and that the host partner will be the UK risk management association Airmic.

FERMA President Jo Willaert said: “These awards continue to help us raise the profile of risk management and risk managers in Europe, as well as highlight the contribution that the prize winning and short listed risk managers make to their organisations. The awards dinner is also a wonderful occasion to celebrate our profession and meet our colleagues.”

Adrian Ladbury, editorial director of Commercial Risk Europe, added: “We have been delighted with the response to the European Risk Management Awards initiative and feel confident that we have quickly established an important annual event in the industry calendar. “

FERMA and CRE thank Allianz Global Corporate Specialty (AGCS) as the Headline Partner for the 2018 programme.                                                         

Entries for all categories will open on 1 March 2018.
