CLERICAL Medical International's retiring General Manager Dave Schuster has won the Association of International Life Offices' (AILO) James Ball Memorial Award for his services to the offshore life industry.

Alan Morgan-Moodie, Chairman of AILO, said: "The offshore and cross border industries, never mind AILO and its members, have benefited enormously from Dave's efforts over nearly 20 years. With his retirement it seemed a very appropriate moment to recognise the difference that he has made to this industry.

“Dave has worked tirelessly for the insurance industry and indeed CMI since its inception in 1987 and the winning of this award is a fantastic achievement and great recognition for all that he has done in that time. He will be a hard act to follow for the Isle of Man."
