The Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA) and Commercial Risk Europe (CRE) are delighted to announce the launch of the 3rd European Risk Management Awards and gala dinner, which will take place in Brussels on 21 November 2018.

The European Risk Management Awards recognise the highest achievers within the European risk management community. They also reward excellence and innovation within the core service provider sector: insurers, brokers and professional services. An independent judging panel is made up of leading risk managers from within FERMA and its national associations.

Three new awards have been introduced this year. One is the Emerging Risk Initiative of the Year award in the Excellence in Risk Management category group, and there are two rising star categories in the Excellence in Customer Service awards.

Another innovation in 2018 is that risk managers and insurance buyers will be invited to vote online for outstanding service providers in addition to the standard, online entries from companies. Risk managers and insurance buyers will also be asked to submit names of individuals who have shown strength in leadership and an individual commitment to customer service.
