Annual industry award recognises Healix Insurance Services for its excellence and professionalism in adapting to changing market needs.

Healix Insurance Services were delighted to win the award for Best Insurance Intermediary at the recent International Travel and Health Insurance Journal (ITIJ) Awards in Venice.

Phil Denman, Managing Director of Healix Insurance Services commented, “Over the past 12 months we have focused on expanding our repertoire from straightforward domestic travel placement to a range of international travel and healthcare insurance/reinsurance products on both an open market and fully underwritten basis. We have strategically positioned ourselves to explore healthcare risk from every angle and we believe this win demonstrates the progress we’ve made on our journey from travel insurance broking to global health insurance provision. The key for us was to take advantage of the opportunities vertically within our existing supply chain as well as discovering new products.”
