Insurance Diversity and Inclusion

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural 50 over Fifty event, which was held at the gravity defying, very plush offices of WTW on Lime Street.

50 over Fifty is a relatively new initiative aimed at celebrating the contribution women aged over 50 make to all aspects of the UK insurance industry. It was a fabulous.

It was founded by two very Inspirational women Katrina Foster and Michaela Gibson.

Anyway, why the very ballsy clickbait headline Paul you might ask????

‘Come on ladies!’ is a phrase I would like to start with to generate excitement and trigger action around a topic much discussed: the gender issue.

Gender inequality in football and in (re)insurance have obvious parallels. In both disciplines male out-number, out-represent and out-earn females. That is why in June this year, IGI will take part in Equal Playing Field’s (EPF) Festival of Football. EPF aims to highlight inequalities in sport by setting a Guinness World Record for the Biggest Football Game on Earth.
