Investment Life and Pensions Moneyfacts announces 2008 award winners
The winners of the 2008 Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts awards were announced today at the prestigious Brewery venue in London.
Over 350 industry professionals from the leading financial institutions and industry bodies gathered at a special awards luncheon hosted by Gyles Brandreth, actor, author and broadcaster. Twenty-nine awards were presented to recognise those companies that have consistently offered the most competitive products, the best levels of service and shown the greatest innovation during the last twelve months.
The awards were based on a combination of the analytical expertise of the Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts research team and the opinions of its IFA readership.
Richard Eagling, Editor of Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts said: “The Investment Life & Pensions awards recognise the outstanding achievements of providers who manage to stand out from the crowd by offering high calibre products and delivering first class service. In what has turned out to be another challenging 12-month period for the financial services industry, it is encouraging that so many providers have responded through innovations to their products and through greater strides to improve their services. This has been reflected in this year’s awards, where competition has been intense.”
