At this year's 10th Annual Mansfield Awards, EBM Rentcover took home the Specialty award—a recognition of their unwavering commitment to Uberrima Fides (Utmost Good Faith), empathy, and integrity in claims handling.
Winning a Mansfield reflects decades of building a service-driven culture. Alan Bishop, EBM Group CEO and Executive Chairman, shared what this achievement means to the team:
"To be recognised by our industry peers is a meaningful achievement and a testament to the difference that our EBM RentCover team makes through every conversation, interaction and outcome. This award reflects not only the work of the past 12 months, but the foundations built over more than 30 years of supporting our clients and each other. We couldn’t be prouder."

Huge congratulations to the entire team at EBM RentCover!

At the 10th annual Mansfield Awards in Australia, the industry celebrated a decade of recognising outstanding claims performance. A central highlight of the event was honouring Barry Simpson (Charles Taylor), who was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for his decades of leadership and contribution to the claims profession. In addition to taking home the top honour, Barry was also recognised as a finalist for the newly introduced Loss Adjuster of the Year award. In Barry word's
"Allan Manning has always been at the forefront of claims and I was very impressed when LMI Group initiated the Mansfield Awards 10 years ago reinforcing the Doctrine of Utmost Good Faith and placing claims in the spotlight where it deserves to be."
"I have always considered that being awarded a 'Mansfield' represents the pinnacle of recognition for achievement in the claims space, so I was absolutely thrilled to receive my own award." Congratulations to Barry on this milestone achievement, and to all of this year’s finalists and award recipients!

Introducing the enhanced “Risk Consideration Report” which enables underwriters to confidently assess industry-specific exposures while incorporating their own underwriting observations and risk considerations to further tailor assessments to the individual risk being reviewed.
