British Insurance Awards 2020: Shortlist Revealed

Let the good times [toilet] roll, it's British Insurance Awards shortlist time.

OK, good times might currently be in as short supply in Covid-19 lockdown as tinned tomatoes, flour and eggs.

But through all this, we do need things to look forward outside the next Joe Wicks exercise video, Netflix blockbuster or Ocado delivery.

In the short term that might be a trip to the hairdressers/barbers, the local Greggs re-opening or watching a live football match.

But looking further ahead, I am delighted to say that while the British Insurance Awards has had to move from its traditional date and venue, July at the Royal Albert Hall, we hope to bring the usual razzmatazz and fantastic entertainment on  6 October when Insurance Post will be holding the 2020 British Insurance Awards at Battersea Evolution.

Which brings us to whether you will be among the contenders on the night, and have made it onto one of the 2020 shortlists.

Sit back, enjoy the first episode of BIA TV sponsored by Insurance Emporium and if you want to share you happiness of being among the shortlisted entries, then send us your own clips of your isolation celebration [isolabration for short] using the #tag #BIAisolabration.
