An insurance broker from Rothwell is in line for another high-profile national award. Robyn Allen (pictured), of Robyn Allen Solutions Ltd which


specialises in personal protection insurance, has been named a finalist in the Woman of the Year – Protection Advice category at the national Women In Financial Advice Awards. The prestigious awards, hosted by top industry publications

This latest accolade follows success for Robyn at last year’s regional and National SME Business Awards where she won silver awards for Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Mentor of the Year. Robyn said: “I’m thrilled to be a finalist because despite the fact


women have made great strides in the financial services industry, we’re still very much the minority. We set ourselves apart with the advice and support we offer because we genuinely care about our clients and I’ve also worked hard to support others though my mentoring work.” Being named a finalist is further great news for Robyn who has


been working hard throughout the Covid-19 lockdown to support her clients and the wider community. Her regular videos on social media have proved very popular. Robyn explained: “We acted quickly to make sure our clients knew


we were still there for them. Our company is strong and we’re continuing to support our existing and new clients.” The winners of the Women In Financial Advice Awards will be announced on 8 October 2020.
