Insurance Age is delighted to announced the Insurance Cultural Awareness Network as an official partner of the inaugural 2023 UK Broker Week.

Founded in 2017, iCAN is the industry-wide, independent, volunteer-run network that supports multicultural inclusion across the insurance sector.

As part of its efforts to promote multicultural inclusion and progression, engage with allies, and celebrate the benefits of inclusion and diversity in the industry, iCAN will be exhibiting at Broker Expo during Broker Week at the Birmingham NEC on 12 October.

So please come along to meet and speak to the iCAN representatives on the day to find out how the network can help you become a more inclusive and diverse business, tapping into much needed talent that might previously not have considered a future in insurance and/or insurance broking.

Insurance Age content director Jonathan Swift added: “The progress iCAN has made in such a short space of time in helping raise the profile of so many great diverse role models across the insurance profession is testimony to the hard work and dedication of the team.

“They are to be commended for making insurance a much more attractive career option for people who previously might have dismissed it as boring, homogenous and unwelcoming, and everyone at Insurance Age and Broker Week are delighted to have them on board.”

Why is Link – the LGBTQ+ insurance network – at the British Insurance Brokers’ Association Conference next week? Because it wants to support brokers on diversity and inclusion, according to co-chair Maxim Cook and committee member Erik Johnson.
