C&C Employee Benefits is celebrating after being shortlisted in not one, but two prestigious categories at the 2026 Health & Protection Awards.

The team has been named as a finalist in both the Best Small Health Insurance Advice Firm and Best Small Protection Advice Firm categories, recognising the exceptional service, advice and support it provides to clients across the UK.

Widely regarded as one of the most respected events in the health insurance calendar, the Health & Protection Awards celebrate excellence, innovation and outstanding client outcomes across the sector. This year’s awards ceremony will take place at the Hilton Park Lane in London on 22 October, bringing together leading advisers, insurers and providers from across the market.

The double shortlist is particularly significant as it recognises the breadth of expertise within C&C Employee Benefits. The Health Insurance category acknowledges the team’s work in helping employers develop effective healthcare strategies that support employee wellbeing, improve engagement and deliver value for both businesses and their people. Meanwhile, the Protection category recognises the team’s ability to provide tailored solutions that help protect employees and their families against the financial impact of illness, injury or loss of income.

Being part of the wider C&C Insurance Brokers group, C&C Employee Benefits has continued to strengthen its reputation for delivering highly personalised advice, combining technical expertise with a people-first approach that focuses on understanding the unique needs of every client.

Andrew Middleton, Director of C&C Employee Benefits, says: “To be shortlisted in two categories at the Health & Protection Awards is a fantastic achievement and one that reflects the hard work, dedication and expertise of the entire team. We are passionate about helping organisations create benefits programmes that genuinely make a difference to the lives of their employees, while also supporting their wider business objectives.”

He added: “The employee benefits market continues to evolve rapidly, with employers facing increasing challenges around recruitment, retention, wellbeing and workforce engagement. Being recognised by the Health & Protection Awards judges is a wonderful endorsement of the support we provide to our clients, and we’re incredibly proud to have reached the finalist stage in both categories.”

The recognition continues what has been a strong year for C&C Employee Benefits, following their rebrand last November to more accurately reflect the broader offering of the brokerage.

Congratulations, Team CCEB! Everyone across the C&C group of companies will be keeping their fingers crossed ahead of the awards ceremony in October!
