Stanmore Insurance Brokers Ltd, has been rewarded for its successes in 2020. Director, Jackie Hyde, has been named as one of 20 inspirational business women to watch in 2020 by Business Insurance Magazine for her ongoing achievements in the sector.

Owner and MD at Stanmore, Jackie has over 30 years’ experience in insurance, managing both a traditional commercial brokerage and a dedicated Nursery Insurance Scheme. The pandemic has been extremely damaging for many businesses and early years settings across the country and insurance companies have been put under immense strain.

The Women to Watch list is the only global recognition programme that celebrates leading women from every facet of the commercial insurance industry. Jackie has been listed alongside some of the most inspirational women in the sector across Europe, the Middle East & Africa.

Stanmore Insurance Brokers has also been shortlisted for an Engage Award, with its customer service offering being recognised in the ‘Best Use of Voice of the Customer’ category, seeing them rub shoulders with the likes of BMW and Tata Communications in the seven-strong shortlist. The category celebrates companies that have showcased an effective and sustainable ‘Voice of the Customer’ programme over the last 12 months. The winner will be announced on December 3.

Jackie Hyde, managing director of Stanmore Insurance Brokers, said:

‘As a company, we are incredibly proud of our customer service offering and for that to be recognised on a national level is testament to the dedication, commitment and tireless work that our staff members have put in to uphold our long-standing client portfolio.

‘We’re so proud to be shortlisted, especially this year when it’s been a challenging year for most. It was important for me to be able to support the children’s nursery sector in particular, which we have worked with for 17 years. We will all be keeping our fingers crossed in December, that we will have another trophy to add to our office cabinet!

‘I am truly flattered to be included on the 2020 Women to Watch list  alongside so many inspirational women, many of whom I have admired for decades. I couldn’t be prouder to be flying the flag for the businesses of Bolton.’
