C&C Claims Team Scoops Top Gong At Modern Claims Awards!

Added on: February 27, 2026

Exciting times! The C&C Claims team was recognised last night by winning Broker of the Year at the Modern Claims Awards! The annual awards, organised by Modern Insurance Magazine, were held at the Rum Warehouse in Liverpool and were hosted by TV favourite, Rory Bremner.

The Modern Claims Awards celebrate excellence across the entire claims ecosystem, and with fierce competition and a huge number of high-quality entries, making it to the final three is no small feat.

Broker of the Year is always a hotly contested category, so coming away with this recognition is a fantastic achievement.

We had a 13-strong contingent flying the flag for C&C, meaning the organisers had to arrange for an especially large table to accommodate us all! But it was worth it to see Malc, Steve and Joe head up onto the stage, in front of 300 people, to collect the award from Rory!

We have always known that our Claims team are one of our biggest assets at C&C. And that’s not just bravado. Our clients tell us all the time how grateful they are for the tenacity of the team led by Steve Lockey and Joe Fay. They champion and challenge on our clients’ behalf, and provide a personalised service at what can be an incredibly stressful time, when industry consolidation is seeing many competitors moving to call centres, chatbots and claims portals.

Malcolm Cooke, MD of C&C, says: “I’m absolutely thrilled that our Claims team has been recognised by winning this award. We have always been proud of what they achieve for our clients, but having this industry acknowledgement is just fantastic as it underlines everything they do. It’s a real testament to the standards they set and their consistency in meeting them!”

Steve Lockey, Claims Director at C&C, says: “This is a wonderful award to receive. For our team to be recognised speaks volumes about the way our team operates and how we stand apart from the competition. I’m delighted for every one of them. It’s a deserved reflection of each of their hard and often challenging work on behalf of their clients. I’m proud for them and of them, But mostly they should be immensely proud of themselves. This is their award.”

Joe Fay, Claims Manager at C&C, says: “What an honour! We’re still buzzing about winning this award, and I’m so pleased for the whole team. Ours is not just a bolt-on service. Claims handling is where we deliver the promise we make when a client takes a policy out with us, and we’ve always known we do it well. The goal has always been to make a difference every day, and having this recognised is just amazing!”

Well done, C&C Claims team! You’re the best!
