Recap: 2023 WA Gala Lunch

On Friday 14 July, the eagerly awaited 2023 WA Gala Lunch took place at the Grand Ballroom in Crown Perth. The event provided an opportunity for members to network with each other and for the WA broking community to come together and celebrate the achievements of the past year.

The Master of Ceremonies for the event was Peter Curulli. The lunch had speeches from NIBA President Gary Okely and NIBA CEO Philip Kewin before proceeding with the announcement of the WA Young Broker of the Year and Broker of the Year award winners.

The event was also an opportunity to raise money for a charitable cause. More than $11,000 was raised as part of the Gala Lunch, which will be donated to two organisations: Cystic Fibrosis Western Australia (CFWA) and the Child Cancer Research Foundation.

The QBE-sponsored 2023 WA Broker of the Year award was awarded to Frans du Plessis from Grace Insurance and the Vero-sponsored 2023 WA Young Broker of the Year award was won by Justin Purslowe from Aviso WA Insurance Brokers.
