The National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) has announced the Victorian/Tasmanian (VIC/TAS) finalists for the Stephen Ball Memorial Broker of the Year Award, which recognises an individual broker for being an inspirational role model for the broking community.

Competing for the QBE-sponsored award are Abbie Wilson from Reliance Partners Insurance Brokers, Avi Tatarka from Scott Winton Insurance Brokers, and Tom Teom from EBM.

“On behalf of QBE, I’d like to congratulate this year’s VIC/TAS Broker of the Year Award finalists – there’s no shortage of talented brokers across the region, so being named a finalist is a truly outstanding achievement,” said Danny Ravenhill, QBE regional manager for Victoria and Tasmania.

“This year's finalists have clearly demonstrated an admirable commitment to professional excellence, client advocacy, customer service, and the development of not only themselves, but their teams and the broking community in Victoria and Tasmania.”

NIBA CEO Dallas Booth also congratulated the finalists “who have all demonstrated exemplary professionalism and excellence in broking practice.”
