CII & PFS Award Categories 2026

All* awards are open to financial services and general insurance professionals within the Plymouth & Cornwall local institute area.

Professional Excellence Award

We’re looking to celebrate an exceptional insurance or financial services professional who consistently proves that expertise and integrity make a world of difference.

Nominate a go-getter who tackles every challenge head-on, who brings a brilliant blend of unwavering integrity, and an infectious passion for delivering excellence and consistently sets the gold standard for industry excellence.

It isn't just about the fine print: it’s about the people who bring it to life!

Emerging Talent Award

This award honours a standout "rising star" who has hit the ground running and refused to slow down, making an impressive impact.

Despite a short time in the industry they have demonstrated exceptional promise, brought fresh perspectives, and proven that true capability is measured by passion and results.

Celebrate the spark that will ignite tomorrow’s industry.

Excellence in Customer Outcomes Award

We are looking for individuals or teams who consistently transform customer challenges into spectacular customer satisfaction. If you routinely turn "it's complicated" into "I've got your back," or your customers keep coming back to you again and again because of the solutions you provide for them then we want to celebrate you. 

Professional Services of the Year Award * (open to ancillary firms too!)

The Professional Services of the Year Award celebrates a standout organisation that epitomises what it means to go above and beyond for clients, whether that means turning complex challenges into seamless success or simply routinely making life easier for their clients.

This award is open to all manner of firms – be it an insurer, tech firm, finance provider, broker or other professional services firm benefitting the insurance/financial services sector or customer in the Plymouth & Cornwall area. 

If what you do helps with clever problem-solving, creates opportunities for world-class customer focus, or you simply shine with passion for helping clients thrive then we want to hear from you.  Does your firm deserve to step into the spotlight?
