C&C wins 5th gong at industry awards

Stockport-based insurance brokers, C&C, were once again in the silverware at the Bravo Networks Annual Awards, picking up the title of Commercial Broker of the Year 2025.

Held at the ACC Conference Centre in Liverpool, over 750 guests attended the prestigious event held during the two-day conference and exhibition. Bravo Networks houses two of the largest networks of independent regional brokers in the UK: Broker Network and Compass. And with over 600 independent broker members, competition for the top spot is always stiff.

C&C were already three-times winners of the coveted Commercial Broker of the Year Award (including the previously named Compass Awards), and last year took home the Risk of the Year Award.

Attending the awards, C&C Insurance Brokers’ Managing Director Malcolm Cooke was joined by Operations Director Ray Harris, Commercial Director Hiek Sarkissian, Technical Broking Director Carolyn Bridges and Claims Manager Joe Fay.

The Commercial Broker of the Year award was presented by Russell Cook, better known as The Hardest Geezer for his mind-blowing achievement of running the length of Africa!

C&C Managing Director Malcolm Cooke commented:

“It’s a real privilege to be recognised by our industry and to receive a 5^th award from Bravo Networks. I’m accepting it on behalf of the whole team at C&C; no matter what their role, everyone contributes to putting our clients at the centre of everything we do. It’s a culture we’re proud of and something we’ll continue to promote regardless of how much we continue to grow.

“I’d also like to thank Bravo Networks who do so much for the industry, and independent brokers in particular, so to receive this recognition really is something quite special.

“It was wonderful to meet The Hardest Geezer too! His fitness and stamina alone are off the scale, but his resilience in dealing with everything that happened during that run is nothing short of inspirational!”
