WORCESTER insurance broker Jelf Clarke Roxburgh, part of Jelf Insurance Brokers, has received a top industry award.

It won insurance broker of the year at the Insurance Age annual awards ceremony in London, against competition from insurance brokers across the UK.

The accolade brings independent endorsement and recognition for excellence in the field of insurance broking to the team based in Foregate Street.

Not only did the Worcester based business impress judges to win the overall broker of the year award, it also took the customer service award.

These latest awards are testimony to the professionalism, dedication and commitment of not only our team here in Worcester, but in Redditch, Hereford, and Ross on Wye, and across the UK. This recognition represents another significant step in delivering our strategy to become recognised as the leading trusted adviser in our communities."
