Introduction
The Friendly Awards
You are warmly invited to the 5th Annual Market People Awards on Thursday 31st March 2022, brought to you by LMForums, the networking and thought leadership group for insurance professionals and those supplying this important trading community with valuable products and services.
Each year, LMForums brings professionals together from all contingents of the Market to recognise individuals, teams and companies who have made an outstanding contribution in the industry. This time, our Awards will take on a sparkling Latin American theme, as we bring you our Salsa Extravaganza and the rhythms of South American ring out across the Ball Room of the Leonardo Royal, St Paul's'. Lights, sounds, camera, action!
The Market People Awards have become a highlight for many professionals and firms across this unique trading environment. We operate a genuinely fair, open and transparent online nomination system, allowing any person, be they a frontline practitioner, a Chief Executive, a graduate or someone working for a supplier, to nominate an individual, team or company. Six independent senior level Market executives will then assess all nominations and select our worthy winners. They will be presented with one of our coveted trophies and will feature in our Market People Awards Hall of Fame.
We invite you to join us for a very special evening and you’ll be sure of a very warm welcome. Read on for details of tables and Award sponsorship opportunities.
LMForums Nominated Charity

LMForums is delighted to announce that it has selected the London Ambulance Service Charitable Fund as its nominated charity.
As the mobile arm of the health service in London, their main role is to respond to emergency 999 calls, getting medical help to patients who have serious or life threatening injuries or illnesses as quickly as possible. As we all know the service has been put under incredible strain throughout the pandemic and their valiant staff and volunteers on the front line have been there for us at our time of need.
As one of the busiest and largest ambulance services in the world, servicing the capital, they need to be prepared to deal with large-scale incidents. The biggest challenges they have faced have been the London bombings in July 2005, the Westminster and London Bridge terror attacks in 2017, the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower in 2017, and now the Covid pandemic.
Their Plans for the Future
The Charitable Fund supports the wellbeing of the diverse workforce as they strive towards being a world-class ambulance service that is at the heart of urgent and emergency care in London, contributing towards Londoners having health outcomes that are amongst the best in the world.
