It was a successful night for Shepherds Friendly at the Investment Life and Pensions Moneyfacts Awards 2022. We left the recent ceremony with four ‘Highly Commended’ and ‘Commended’ trophies as we were announced within the lists of top providers for all of the categories we entered. The team is thrilled with the result and grateful to the advisers that helped make this possible.

The annual Investment Life and Pensions (ILP) Moneyfacts Awards 2022 ceremony took place recently, and we sent some of our Business Development and Marketing teams to the London Hilton on Park Lane attend and represent our Society at the gala-style event.

Since the formation of Moneyfacts over three decades ago, the Moneyfacts Group has been a valuable resource for consumers and financial advisers when it comes to comparing financial products. They also host a variety of awards every year that aim to shine a spotlight on the best providers in the industry, based on their product offering and the service provided.

As the “the unrivalled highlight of the year for the investment, life and pensions market”, the ILP Moneyfacts Awards are highly respected within the industry and the competition is often very strong. The winners are chosen via an in-depth process, which includes 12 months of product monitoring and consultation with financial advisers.

At the 2022 awards, we submitted entries for four categories and here’s how we got on in each of them:

· Highly Commended in Best Protection Service

· Highly Commended in Best Claims Support

· Highly Commended in Best Junior ISA Provider

· Commended in Best Income Protection Provider

Amongst the lucky members of our team who got to attend the awards was our Chief Sales Officer, Antony Uttley:

“Like many others in the industry, we look forward to the ILP Moneyfacts Awards ceremony; it’s always a great night, full of new and familiar faces. However, it’s always better when you get to bring home a trophy and, this year, we’re delighted to have come home with four.

“Our members and intermediaries always come first – our products and service are always developing and evolving to make sure their needs are met. Having all of this hard work recognised is definitely an honour, but to have it recognised by a body as highly respected as Moneyfacts is even more impressive.”

Congratulations to all the winners on the night. We would like to offer a huge thank you to Moneyfacts Group for the accolades and, again, we would also like to thank all of the advisers that supported us – we couldn’t have done it without you!
