EMB wins prestigious advisor award

EMB has won the London Market Professional Advisor of the Year award. In what is a wide field we were recognised by the judges as standing out for our contribution, our professionalism and our continued innovation. The judging panel included senior executives from across all sectors of the City – brokers, insurers, reinsurers and other advisors.

EMB Partner Raj Ahuja commented “I’m truly delighted by this win. It feels very special to be recognised by our peers, our clients and the market in general for our work, and it is a real testimony to the reputation we have established in our work in the London Market. However we will not stand still, but will continue to push the boundaries and deliver excellence for our clients.”

This is the third year in a row that EMB has won a prestigious award. In 2007 we won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise, and in 2008 we were named as Service Provider of the Year at the British Insurance Awards.
