Allianz's lookalike competition gives Chris Hanks special relative
Ping! An email arrives from Allianz informing the insurance world that the moustachioed Chris Hanks, general manager of Allianz Commercial, has been nominated ‘Einstein look-alike’ by his colleagues.
Hanks says he is “thrilled” to be associated with the genius behind the theories of relativity and mass energy-equivalence, e=mc2.
But Hanks is keen to point out that, unlike Einstein, who often wore the same clothes for several days, he is always well turned out in the sharpest of suits and regularly combs his facial hair.
If picking a staff member who most closely resembles an historical figure is a regular competition at Allianz Insurance, can Backchat nominate?

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
