Partnership has been recognised as the Best Long Term Care Provider in the Health Insurance Awards for the third year in a row.
In addition, Chris Horlick, Managing Director, Care at Partnership received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Judging Panel cited, "One man deserved special applause for his contribution in very different areas of the health insurance and protection industry. Over the years he has earned huge respect right across the health insurance intermediary community, during his time at Denplan and then AXA PPP healthcare.
"Now at Partnership, he is also a Commissioner on Westminster City Council’s Social Care Commission and the judging panel said that his efforts to find solutions to the increasingly complex and important area of long-term care should be roundly applauded."
Commenting on both awards Horlick said, "I am delighted that Partnership’s contribution and leadership in the long term care debate has been recognised with these awards. We are focused on developing solutions with Government which provide benefits for local authorities, care homes, advisers and of course the consumer."
