STAFF at an Alcester-based business are celebrating after a record-breaking hat-trick win at a national award ceremony.

Morrison Insurance Solutions made history at the 2016 UK Broker Awards by being named Chartered Broker of the Year for the third year in a row- a first in the award's 23 years.

The small local insurance broker, which has less than 50 employees, fended off big national brokers including Aon and Marsh for the title.

They also scooped the ultimate accolade – Insurance Broker of the Year.

Only brokers that demonstrate the highest levels of service, professionalism and fairness to customers are shortlisted for this award.

Director at Morrison Insurance Solutions Mark Horgan said "To win chartered broker of the year for the third successive year is an achievement beyond all our expectations and then we go and better that by winning UK broker of the year as well. I’m still trying to figure out how we can improve on this, if that is at all possible.

Managing director at Morrison Insurance Solutions Ian Millard added: "This is a fantastic achievement at a national level recognising both the professionalism and success in protecting our clients, thanks to the dedication and knowledge of an incredibly hard working team."

Staff attended an award ceremony on September 16 at The Brewery on Chiswell Street, London. The 23rd annual ceremony was hosted by renowned comedian Romesh Ranganathan.
