Gallagher Bassett has received the Insurance Industry Innovation of the Year award by the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) and Asia Insurance Review (AIR).

The accolade was in recognition of GB’s development of LaunchPad for its Northern Territory government self-insurance service, designed to simplify and enhance the claims experience for employers, government agencies, and injured workers.

“We’re proud to have been recognised in the Innovation of the Year category, particularly since our nomination focused on innovation in an area we pride ourselves on – combining technology and service to provide better claims experiences,” said Andrew Spilsbury, GB general manager of marketing and communications and lead for the development of LaunchPad.

The Australian Insurance Industry Awards brought together more than 800 industry professionals and recognized the finalists and winners in 19 categories.
