Alan Boswell Group is pleased to announce that its Employee Benefits team have been honoured with the prestigious Dr Marius Barnard Recognition Award. This accolade was presented in recognition of the team’s commitment to making protection policies a cornerstone of their client offering, ensuring clients are well-supported in meeting their protection needs. Dee Myhill, Senior Employee Benefits Consultant, and Will Gaines, Protection Specialist, represented the Group at the Scottish Widows event in London, where they accepted the award. The award ceremony highlighted firms and individuals who demonstrate exceptional dedication to the industry, ensuring protection remains integral to their proposition. The award is named after Dr Marius Barnard, who pioneered the concept of critical illness insurance.

Commenting on the achievement, Dee Myhill said, “We’re proud to receive this award, which is a testament to our team’s dedication to ensuring our clients have financial protection when they need it most.”
