Paloma Kubiak

emerged as the winner

thanks to a strong all-round submission featuring

interesting subjects close to the heart of both

judges and consumers.

“For me the standout piece was the one on

car insurance, it was brilliant and original and

unearthed some really interesting findings,” one

judge commented. “I liked the car insurance item

as well, it was full of insights. What’s more, I like the

way Paloma goes about doing research to back up

her stories and this came to the fore in the piece on

estate agents,” a second judge pointed out. “When

someone is covering the subject of household

money, what you want as a reader is a combination

of interesting pointers and information you can trust

so you can go about tackling your own financial

affairs. Paloma definitely delivered on this front,” a

third judge remarked.
