Brokerslink founder José Manuel Fonseca named “Broker Leader of the Year”
Brokerslink founder and elected Chairman, José Manuel Fonseca has been honoured as the “Broker Leader of the Year” by the Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA) and Commercial Risk Europe (CRE) at the European Risk Management Awards in Brussels on 21st November.
José Manuel was selected by a panel of independent judges, drawn from across the European risk management community, for his work with Brokerslink and MDS Group. In making the award, the panel recognised his commitment to providing risk managers with “a new alternative in the market distribution and offering the support of a global network but with a commitment to allowing regional brokers to maintain their independence”.
On receiving the award José Manuel said;
“It is an honour to be recognised by the European risk management community with this award. The vision for Brokerslink was to create an alternative in the market distribution by combining the expert insight and knowledge only a local independent broker can provide clients with dedicated insurance and risk management capabilities on a global basis. This recognition is testament to the commitment of the Brokerslink team, our broker partners and affiliates and the supporting insurers and service providers who have enabled the vision to become a reality.”
In addition to José Manuel’s honour, Brokerslink was shortlisted for the “Broker Innovation of the Year” award at the annual event which celebrates and promotes best practice in the risk management community and the companies that support the profession.
