Broker trade body named Trade Association of the Year
The British Insurance Brokers’ Association has been named Trade Association of the Year at the prestigious Trade Association Forum Best Practice Awards.
Biba also won the Commercial Initiative and Exhibition categories at the awards.
Biba beat 37 other associations to be named Trade Association of Year 2009. The judges said that BIBA’s activities were the hallmark of an association that pursues, and achieves, excellence in all their activities whether that be sector representation, communicating with members or undertaking commercial activity.
The judges were keen to acknowledge that Biba had achieved everything with only 16 staff which was “a truly remarkable performance”.
Biba chief executive, Eric Galbraith, said: “This is an excellent example of how Biba is achieving success on behalf of members. This award is a testament to the hard work of the Biba team and we are delighted to receive recognition from our trade association peers. Our challenge now is to continue to improve even further.”
The awards, hosted by the Trade Association Forum, received 100 entries and were presented at a ceremony at London’s Intercontinental Hotel on 29 July.
Biba was also a finalist in the Electronic Communication Award, Magazine Award, Newsletter Award, Sector Representation Award, Social Initiative Award and Website Award categories.
