​Commenting on the benefits of receiving the award Dan said: "After having been in the insurance market for
​5 years at the time I was keen to invest more in my future career. I came across the ICIC award and thought that the competition and its ultimate prize was a great way of showcasing young talent and furthering my experience within the International Market. The opportunity for exposure to a wide cross section of the industry is invaluable, I was thus over the moon when I was told that I had won. Through the prize, I attended ICIC 2019 and was flown out to New York for the AIMU Conference and MICA Dinner where I developed a strong base of business relations that I still rely upon today. The conferences also highlighted current issues affecting the Cargo industry that have enabled me to approach claims with a fuller understanding and as a whole been beneficial to my appreciation of the ever-changing risks at hand. Since having won the award, I have progressed in my position within the Cargo Claims team at Howden Specialty and was promoted to Associate Director soon after. I thoroughly enjoy my job and the ability to have a positive impact on the claims lifecycle is second to none."
