Shortlists for the UK Health & Protection Awards 2025 provider categories have been revealed after advisers voted to support their favoured providers.
The shortlists cover 11 categories spanning the breadth of the health and protection insurance industry and come from thousands of votes submitted by advisers.
Entries from the finalists will be assessed by a panel of industry expert judges brought together by Health & Protection with the winners announced at the gala dinner on 16 October at the Westminster Park Plaza.
Congratulations and good luck to all those insurers and providers shortlisted.
