Alternative health insurance provider Equipsme won not one but two Awards at the WSB (Workplace Savings and Benefits) Awards in London last month – named both Benefit Innovation of the Year and Health and Wellbeing Provider of the Year.
The WSB wards are judged by top corporate benefits and rewards experts, who are looking for the employers and providers with the best staff benefit offerings – and who’ve done the most to improve them over the last 12 months.
Judges marked out Equipsme for innovation on product, price and proof. In their comments, they said: “Equipsme is a firm with an impressive ethos and approach that has built a product accessible to those on a budget. A transparent, innovative offering for clients with incredibly innovative hybrid health plans that occupy the middle ground between cash plans and PMI.”
Equipsme’s Director of Distribution Gavin Shay and Business Development Manager Jemma Boyce were at the Marriott Hotel in Grosvenor Square to collect the Awards. Gavin said: “Over the last year, we’ve focused on products that employers and employees really value, at prices that work for whole workforces – and with analysis that the return businesses get on their investment could be around £3 for every £1 spent on an Equipsme plan.
“I’m absolutely delighted that all that work has been recognised – alongside the very real impact we’re having on both businesses and our members. For us, the Workplace Savings and Benefits Awards are so important because they’re a mark of approval from the people who are actually at the HR, reward and benefits sharp end.
“This win marks a real moment for Equipsme, as we continue to fill the gap in the market created by rising demand for health benefits and spiralling PMI costs. Businesses are increasingly looking to do more to support the health of more employees, with limited budgets. As the WSB judges recognised, Equipsme is providing them with a viable and effective solution.”
Dave Middleton, Executive Chair of amii, said, “We’re delighted to share the good news of our corporate member Equipsme’s double award win. This year they’ve also been highly commended as Best Health and Wellbeing Innovator in the Corporate Adviser Awards, and are a finalist in three more Awards events, including the up-coming Healthcare & Protection Awards and Cover Excellence.”
