Behind every claim is a story - and often, a turning point. As the winner of the 2026 PPS Mutual Advice Practice of the Year Award, Mark Everingham (Personal Risk Professionals) had the opportunity to speak at a recent Riskinfocus session, sharing a deeply personal reflection on how health events can reshape financial reality. 'At the age of 48, my father had a significant heart attack...he could never work again.' - Mark Everingham, Personal Risk Professionals What followed was not only a long recovery but also a complex, extended process to access insurance and superannuation benefits. It’s a reminder that the impact of illness is rarely limited to health alone. It reaches into income, family stability, and long-term financial security. For advisers, these moments reinforce the importance of clarity, structure and preparation well before a claim arises. So that when something does happen, the focus can be on recovery, not uncertainty. Through the PPS Mutual Advice Practice of the Year Award, we recognise advisers who bring this level of care and perspective to their work. If your practice reflects this standard, we encourage you to apply for next year's award.
