Holly Geach, who is a commercial insurance account handler at Franklands, beat off the challenge from other young people working in the insurance industry across the region to win this prestigious award.

 

Holly was presented with her trophy and a cheque for £500 in recognition of her achievements over the last 12 months at the Institute’s ‘One Golden Night’ awards ceremony.

 

The Nottingham Insurance Institute’s Young Achiever’s Award aims to publicly recognise and applaud outstanding achievement of young people working in the insurance and financial services market in the Nottingham and Derby area.

 

Commenting on being named the 2012 Young Achiever of the Year, Holly said:

 

“I am thrilled to have won this award - this recognition is a reflection of all the hard work I have put into my studies and career progression over the past 18 months. It has given me an excellent platform on which to build my career in insurance.”

 

David Harrison, director at Franklands added:

 

“We are all delighted for Holly – she is a great team member and is a deserving recipient of this year’s award.

 

“I am sure Holly would agree that the award reflects the achievement of all of our colleagues who are working hard towards exam success and narrowly missed the age qualification for Young Achiever of the Year!
