NIBA announced Kieran as the winner of the 2025 NIBA Community Excellence Member of the Year award at the NIBA Convention on the Gold Coast on Monday, 20 October.
Sponsored by Liberty, Peter O’Leary presented the award which recognises exceptional efforts to help clients or contribute to the community. Kieran received the Award because of the way he dealt with the flood event in Ingham, his hometown which received over 1200mm of rain across three days, with multiple homes and businesses being flooded.
Kieran is not new to being recognised for excellence, having won the 2024 NIBA QLD Broker of the Year Award.
“Brokers are at the heart of helping communities recover. Those who go above and beyond for their communities, who use their skills, influence and compassion to make a real difference in people’s lives exemplify the values of care and service that are at the core of our profession.”
Peter O'Leary, Vice President - Relationship Management & Marketing – Liberty Specialty Markets
