Cass Business School is delighted to announce the prize winners of the NMG Consulting prize for actuarial science in 2015-16.

Krishna Mepani (left) and Aditya Sanghvi (right), scored the highest marks in the actuarial risk management modules in the last academic year, and will share the £2,000 NMG Consulting prize. This award, judged by Cass academics and sponsored by NMG Consulting, was open to students studying on the MSc in actuarial management.

Speaking at the recent prize-giving breakfast, NMG consulting partner David Burns said: "We'd like to congratulate the two winners on their outstanding success in the examinations. NMG greatly values its association with Cass and is delighted to confirm that we will be continuing this in 2017."

Professor Ben Rickayzen, head of the faculty of actuarial science and insurance at Cass, congratulated the two prize winners, saying: "This is a highly sought-after honour, and the competition was strong this year, so well done. I would also like extend my thanks to NMG Consulting, which has sponsored these prizes since 2012. I look forward to our continued relationship."
