This February, members of the Clear Councils team were honoured to visit the House of Lords for the NALC Star Councils Awards where we saw the amazing work and dedication of councils recognised across various categories. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the finalists and winners, and we look forward to the next event.
Sponsoring the NALC Star Awards
At Clear Councils we take pride in everything we do. It’s a privilege to assist local communities, to help alleviate the strains which can occur with insurance, and we’re also immensely proud to sponsor the NALC Star Awards. Here’s what some of the team had to say about the event:
“As partners of NALC, we take great pleasure in being able to offer our support as Headline Sponsors at this year’s Annual Star Council Awards. It’s a fantastic event which not only brings people together, but recognises the dedication of all those who work tirelessly for their local communities, and we’re honoured to be part of this celebration.
Insurance and Risk Management is but one of several responsibilities the Clerks have to consider on a daily basis. Being part of these awards, and getting out and about at local council events, means we can learn about all of the improvements and innovative ideas that are happening in the constituencies. We’re here to meet you, listen to your queries, and take your feedback on board so that we can improve and develop our insurance offering.”
- Julie Walker, MInstLM, Cert CII. Regional Managing Director, East Midlands.
“It is always an honour to sponsor the NALC Star Council Awards —an event that truly celebrates the dedication, innovation, and excellence within the local council sector. These awards shine a light on the individuals and teams who go above and beyond to serve their communities, often with limited resources but endless commitment.
What makes the Star Awards so important is their role in recognising the hard work that can sometimes go unnoticed. They give well-deserved appreciation to those who make a real difference at a local level—and that’s something worth celebrating.
I always look forward to attending the awards, not only to support our clients and colleagues, but because the energy and passion in the room is genuinely inspiring. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect, share ideas, and be reminded of the incredible impact made by local councils across the country.”
- Lee Cleaver, Cert CII. Account Executive, Corporate.
