Graeme Jolly, a director at Norfolk & Suffolk Insurance Services Ltd, has won the Sportscover "Broker of the Year" award.
Sports insurer Sportscover assessed entrants against nine criteria including marketing, statistics, customer approach and document management. Sports insurance brokers from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Italy, Ireland and the UK entered the competition.
Jolly said: "I didn't believe we stood a chance given the tough international competition for this award and I was just pleased to have been nominated."
Chris Nash, acting chief executive of Sportscover said Jolly stood out from the field because of his business philosophy and his approach to engaging local sporting teams.
