The similarity of the paths of the two companies has set the backdrop for an ideal partnership. Our respective experiences in professional and amateur sports from five different continents will provide a combination of products, services and knowledge not seen before. We look forward to working together with Sportscover.' Sportscover Director Chris Nash said, 'We are delighted to be in Canada and teaming up with such a well-respected sports specialist in Sutton's. We consider this joint venture in the Canadian market to be a significant step in our worldwide development. This is an exciting opportunity for both of our companies.'

Sportscover MD, Peter Nash, has been named as a finalist in the ANZIIF Insurance Leader of the Year awards. These prestigious awards are being presented at the Australia and New Zealand Insurance Industry Awards on the 2nd of August 2007.
Media Release The Australia and New Zealand Insurance Industry Awards Judging Panel are proud to announce the finalists for the 2007 awards. The Awards, now in their fourth year, unite the entire insurance industry in celebration of excellence and achievement and are presented by the Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) and founding partners Asia Insurance Review. Joan Fitzpatrick, ANZIIF CEO and Chair of the Judging Panel said announcing the finalists was an important step in recognising an impressive field. 'The decision to announce the top three companies in each category was made to further acknowledge the achievements of these high performing organisations in the lead up to the awards,' she said. Ms Fitzpatrick added that only those submissions that were deemed to be of a suitably high standard have been included in the list of finalists. 'Being announced as a finalist is an achievement in and of itself and something to be very proud of, so we will not be handing out finalist status without an appropriate standard being met,' Ms Fitzpatrick said. 'For example, if there are only two submissions of a significant calibre then there will only be two finalists announced in that category.' In the event of only one awards submission scoring high enough with the judges there will be no finalist announced for that category. Due to the individual nature of the Insurance Leader of the Year category, and the exemplary achievements and leadership of those nominated, six finalists will be named each year. The finalists for the 2007 Australia and New Zealand Insurance Industry Awards are: Broker of the Year General Insurance Company of the Year Insurance Leader of the Year Law Firm/Practitioner of the Year Life Insurance Company of the Year Loss Adjuster of the Year Reinsurance Company of the Year Premium Funder of the Year Risk Practitioner/Team of the Year Service Provider to the Insurance Industry Services to the Community Award Technological Innovation of the Year The winner in each category will be announced at the Insurance Industry Awards Gala at the Parkside Ballroom, Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Thursday 2 August.
