18 August 2024 Western National Insurance

Western National Insurance has clinched the Non-Life Insurer of the Year: Commercial Award at the FIA Intermediary Experience Awards, for the third year in a row. Madelein Stockton: Head of Distribution, Jacques Vorster: Regional Head of Sales and Estelle Smit: Regional Manager Northern Region from Western were present to accept the award at the ceremony held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

“To receive this recognition for three consecutive years is a testament to the excellence that we strive for at Western. We are very proud of our team. Receiving this accolade at the most prestigious event in the South African financial services industry is no small feat. We are here today because of the team’s dedication and commitment to ensuring that our clients always come first,” says Jurgen Hellweg, Western National CEO. 

The FIA Intermediary Experience Awards remain an annual highlight on the insurance industry’s calendar. For over 20 years, top national intermediaries have been recognised for their work in the industry. One of the key objectives is to recognise product providers for products, solutions as well as the services they offer to the end consumer, through intermediaries. Furthermore, this recognition serves to celebrate the value that financial advisers, advisers and other professionals bring to the financial services industry.  

Hellweg added, “We will not become complacent and will continue to provide our clients with best-in-class service as we continue to position ourselves as a leading commercial insurer in South Africa’s insurance sector.”
