\u201cThe three awards that BT collected together reinforce our longstanding dedication to giving quality service to our customers, particularly at claim time when it matters most, as well as our drive to bring to market the best products,” Moffitt said.<\/span><\/p>\nWhile the awards cover risk, investment bond and annuity and income stream products they also include service awards in the areas of underwriting, claims and business support services.<\/p>\n
These awards are determined exclusively from adviser feedback collected from an extensive joint AFA and riskinfo database, which is then analysed by the Beddoes Institute.<\/p>\n
Of these awards BTFG won the Claims Team of the Year award while Zurich won the Underwriting and New Business Team of the Year, and BDM\/Business Support Services Team of the Year awards.<\/p>\n
In total, 13 awards were presented at the black tie event, including the client service team awards.<\/p>\n
