Nicolina Mackenzie, Marketing Manager of South Essex Insurance Brokers says “Our Company is proud to sponsor the Meritoire, we pride ourselves on customer service, which is in keeping with the philosophy of this award.   SEIB understands that quality and longevity must be a priority when considering how valuable any contribution has been to the horse world which we all value so much”.
