On a lively evening at the Hotel Champlain in Burlington, Vermont, celebrating excellence displayed in the North American captive industry, a total of 26 awards were handed out
The Captive Review US Awards 2024 was a great success last night, as the winners of awards in 26 categories were revealed.
After a drinks reception full of networking opportunities, and a quick introduction from editor Mark Richardson in which he underlined the strength in the North American captive insurance market over the last 12 months, it was time for the real entertainment to begin.
A sumptuous dinner was followed by professional comedian Adam Mamawala taking to the stage as the host for the night. After opening with a hilarious set he got into the main action of the night, revealing the winners of our prestigious awards. You can find all the winners listed below, and photographs of the winners collecting their trophies will soon be available online, and in the next edition of Captive Review.
A special congratulations to Anne Marie Towle of Hylant, who walked away with the most celebrated award of the night – the Outstanding Achievement Award – for a 25-year captive career in which she has become one of the industry’s most respected and skilled leaders, as well as one of the biggest advocates for the captive industry and bringing on the next generation of talent.
Thanks to everyone who attended the awards yesterday and made it such a fun and enjoyable night. And a special thanks to our judges, who had the difficult task of sifting through the many nominations and carefully choosing winners, and to our sponsors, Big Ticket and RH CPAs for supporting the awards and making them possible.
Congratulations to all our winners below, and we hope to see you all again next year!
