IT may not be a Hollywood Oscar but Salisbury-based Portmore Insurance Brokers have scooped a golden statue for giving the best pitch to businesses at two consecutive business networking meetings.

And the brokers, who have recently joined Business Through Referrals, a networking group that hosts a breakfast meeting in Salisbury’s White Hart, are going for a third award.

Simon Reeves from Portmore said he selected Business Through Referrals for its “good group, good mix and dedication”.

Companies that present winning pitches are presented with trophies as a reward.

Business Through Referrals meet on the first and third Thursday of the month at the White Hart Hotel in Salisbury at 6.45am.
