Speaking about the finalists BIBA CEO Steve White said: “We were unable to run our young broker competition last year because of the pandemic however the candidates we saw this year were fantastic which can only speak positively for the future of our sector.
“Collette showed a clear enthusiasm for insurance broking evidenced by her exemplary track record with Marsh and her work with BIBA.
“Ola showed us a real drive to achieve personal and professional goals and working in a fast-moving tech company was accomplished and mature beyond his years.

“My congratulations to all three finalists and particularly to Alex who we expect to see more of during the course of the year.”
