CGU named top 'all-rounder' in CQIB awards

The Council of Queensland Insurance Brokers (CQIB) has named CGU the “all-rounder” insurer of the year at its annual awards.

QBE was runner up for the award, which takes into account performance levels of security, range of products, service, claims administration, accounts, communication, price and availability of senior management.

Six awards were presented at the event, including two personal and four company categories, held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

In other categories, Allianz Australia won both the claims service and domestic insurer awards, while Underwriting Agencies of Australia (UAA) took out the agencies accolade.
