Introduction

We have some exciting news!

The date is in the diary and the preparations are already underway for one of the highlights in the annual EC3 calendar - the Market People Awards, celebrating EC3's finest. Join us on 27th June at the amazing Merchant Taylor's Hall, in the heart of the City of London.

Our Market is made up of thousands of incredible people who make it one of the most respected global marketplaces in the world. Every year, LMF produces and hosts a very special celebration, the Market People Awards, where we recognise a small number of hugely talented and thoughtful individuals who go "above and beyond" to make their workplace, company or event the wider London Market, a very special place to work.

The Market People Awards are quite different from many of the more conventional Awards events in the insurance sector:

• Our Awards are about the "people" and are not a vast commercial fanfare. The Awards came about to identify those individuals who do more than just their jobs. In fact, our panel of Market judges always look out for people or teams who have made a real difference within their companies or the Market
• The whole evening is themed and full of entertainment, from start to finish - many describe it as their most enjoyable evening of the year - an opportunity to bring the whole community together
• We host this fun filled evening in the heart of the City of London
• There are only around 20 or so Award categories - so not the normal endless lists of winners and nominees in infinite categories
• The Awards are produced and hosted entirely by the LMF team, who've been part of the Market for 35+ years, so we know what the community likes and how it ticks

We take pride in supporting an amazing charity each year. Historically we've supported charities such as Haven House Children's' Hospice, The Rainbow Trust, London Ambulance Service Charity and MIND. We've raised tens of thousands of pounds over the years, thanks to the amazing generosity of the London Market.
