Recognising The Tenacity
Of Our Valued Clients

We recognise the efforts of all those who defy the odds
and help business remain open after a loss.

Research conducted by found of LMI Group, Dr Allan Manning shows that 50% of businesses fail within 2 years of a major insured event.

LMI Group’s Phoenix Award recognises those businesses that had the management skill and tenacity, coupled with adequate insurance, to not only revive and survive, but truly thrive following such a loss/disruption. As Richard Nixon said in a speech in 1973, “The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire.”

The support and assistance provided by the broker during this time, can be easily overlooked given the enormity of the tasks facing the business. For this reason, The Phoenix Club recognises these dedicated professionals. The broker stands beside their client through the good times and the bad, as a trusted adviser.

We congratulate the worthy recipients of the LMI Group’s Phoenix Award.
