We won! (Of course we did!)

Munro Greenhalgh is delighted to have been named Small Broker of the Year at the British Insurance Awards 2026. As an independent commercial insurance broker based in Ramsbottom, Bury, we advise businesses and individuals throughout Greater Manchester, Lancashire and across the UK. Winning this national award recognises our commitment to exceptional customer service, expert insurance advice and outstanding claims support. Whether we are arranging commercial insurance, liability insurance, professional indemnity, cyber insurance or high-value home insurance, our focus has always been on delivering long-term value rather than simply selling policies.

Munro Greenhalgh Insurance Brokers has been crowned Small Broker of the Year at the British Insurance Awards 2026, held at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London.

Sponsored by Intact Insurance and hosted by “Chatty Man” Alan Carr, the British Insurance Awards are recognised as the UK’s most prestigious celebration of excellence, innovation and outstanding achievement within the insurance industry. Winning this national award is a tremendous honour and one that makes us incredibly proud.

Receiving this recognition during our 100th anniversary year makes the achievement even more special. Since 1926, we have remained an independent insurance broker. Based in Ramsbottom, Bury, Munro Greenhalgh protects businesses throughout Bolton, Rochdale, Lancashire, Greater Manchester and across the UK with expert advice, exceptional service and trusted long-term relationships.

Stephen Cadman, Director at Munro Greenhalgh, said:

“In our 100th year, this is simply incredible. We have previously won awards voted for by our customers, and those mean a great deal to us. However, to be recognised nationally by our own industry as the UK’s leading small insurance broker is genuinely mind-blowing. This award belongs to our hardworking, knowledgeable and customer-focused team, whose dedication and professionalism make Munro Greenhalgh what it is today. I couldn’t be prouder.”

The judging panel praised Munro Greenhalgh for:

“Demonstrating in a consolidating market independence, long-term client relationships and exceptional customer service create a powerful competitive advantage.”

As many insurance brokers have become part of large national groups, we have remained proudly independent. While we continually embrace new technology to improve efficiency and enhance the customer experience, we have never lost sight of what matters most: providing personal advice, building lasting relationships and being there for our clients when they need us most.

Winning Small Broker of the Year is not just recognition of what we have achieved over the past 100 years—it is inspiration for what comes next. We remain committed to delivering outstanding service, expert insurance advice and first-class claims support for many years to come.

We would like to thank our loyal clients for placing their trust in us, our insurer partners for their continued support, and our fantastic team, whose passion and commitment have made this incredible achievement possible.
