Australia (WA) Broker of the Year and Young Broker of the Year awards.
Announced at the WA Gala Lunch, the awards recognise and celebrate excellence in the insurance broking industry.
WA Broker of the Year
NIBA gave the 2023 WA Broker of the Year award – sponsored by QBE – to Frans du Plessis from Grace Insurance.
Elliot Hill, managing director – business at QBE Australia Pacific, congratulated du Plessis on the recognition.
“On behalf of QBE, I’d like to congratulate this year’s WA Broker of the Year award winner, Frans du Plessis of Grace Insurance. Frans’ dedication to providing high quality services to his customers sets an impressive standard, and we’re proud to recognise his efforts,” Hill said.
WA Young Broker of the Year
NIBA’s Young Broker of the Year award recognises excellence in the insurance broking industry for professionals under the age of 35.
The association gave the 2023 WA Broker of the Year award – sponsored by Vero – to Justin Purslowe of Aviso WA Insurance Brokers.
Shane Butcher, state distribution manager WA at Vero, congratulated Purslowe on the achievement.
“Justin has forged an impressive career at such a young age, becoming a director in 2020. He is a talented broker and has already built a reputation for high standards. Vero is proud to support the next generation of insurance brokers and its longstanding association with NIBA’s Young Professionals and the Young Broker of the Year award,” Butcher said.
Last week, NIBA announced the winners for the 2023 NSW/ACT broker awards. All regional winners will compete in the national awards, with the QBE-sponsored Broker of the Year and Vero-sponsored Young Broker of the Year awards chosen from the five divisional winners and announced at the NIBA Convention in October.
NIBA CEO Philip Kewin said: “We congratulate Frans and Justin for their outstanding achievement and wish them the very best of luck for the upcoming national awards.
“I would like to acknowledge all the finalists and the work they do for their clients and the community.”
