After 185 years our members continue to be at the heart of everything we do and no matter how much we grow, we’ll always be here for you. That is why it means so much to us to have received the following awards and recognition.

We are proud to announce the Foresters Friendly Society Junior ISA won the title of Best Junior Investment ISA Provider at the YourMoney.com Investment Awards 2023. It’s fantastic that our Junior ISA has been recognised as award winning, especially as it’s the second year in a row. What makes the award more special is that it was judged by the people who really matter, the customers.

In September 2021, we were awarded the Most Innovative Financial Solutions Provider – Hampshire accolade at the Southern Enterprise Awards 2021.

We are proud to be recognised as an employer that cares about doing things right, that values our people and that understands the importance of a truly engaged workforce. As part of a nationally recognised and respected scheme, Best Companies have accredited us as ‘One to Watch’ following our first staff survey with them. 

One to Watch is a special status awarded to organisations where workplace engagement shows promising signs for the future.  We are also proud to be recognised for our Long Service where at least 40% of our staff have worked here for more than five years and that at least 40% of senior managers are women.

In a step to demonstrate the Society’s commitment to responsible investment, in September 2020 we became a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI).  Foresters takes this responsible approach into our investments ensuring we act in a socially conscious way, not only towards our own members, but also towards the society at large, by ensuring a strict scrutiny on the companies in which we invest. Signing up to the PRI confirms Foresters belief in those principles.

In November 2020, Foresters was proud to be shortlisted for the ‘Insurance Company of the Year’ and the ‘Investment Strategy of the Year’ Insurance Asset Management awards 2020.

In November 2020, Foresters #smallsavers marketing campaign received a Gold award at the 2020 MarCom Awards which honour excellence in Marketing and Communication.  The campaign’s response was phenomenal and helped many families come together through lockdown to talk about the importance of saving for the future. 

In 2019 we were named Best Small Insurer at the Insurance Investment Exchange awards which recognises the work we do in delivering real value through their investment portfolios and minimising volatility in an increasingly complex environment. Embracing innovative strategies and internal talent has helped Foresters to be recognised for this award.
