Debbie Kennedy, CEO at LifeSearch comments: “For over 20 years, the LifeSearch Awards have celebrated the very best the protection industry has to offer, paving the way for the development of next generation products and services.
“In a year that has seen huge technological advancement and regulatory upheaval, industry change-makers who approach this as an opportunity to challenge tried and trusted ‘norms’ have really shone through. To protect more people properly, more of the same simply doesn’t cut the mustard. We all need to think and behave differently – our newer award categories seek to recognise those who have demonstrated that bravery and truly put their money where their mouth is.
”Congratulations out to all our winners and to those shortlisted for their work this year.”
