Due to current Covid-19 social distancing and venue restrictions, Legal & General is conducting the celebrations from afar this year with hopes of returning with a celebratory face-to-face event in 2022.
Craig Brown, Director, Intermediary, Legal & General: "Now in our 10th year, the Legal & General Business Quality Awards champions those firms and advisers who are making a difference and delivering for their customers when they need it most. This year is therefore particularly poignant given how the industry has adapted to the many challenges presented by COVID-19 with the calibre of entries for Outstanding Customer Outcome extremely strong. We remain committed to supporting intermediaries and demonstrating their value as part of our drive to grow the overall protection market. Unfortunately, we won’t be celebrating together this year due to COVID-19 restrictions but we will be raising a glass from afar and hope to celebrate next year. Once again, a very big congratulations to all our winners."
