Beazley confirmed as iCAN Bronze Sponsor for 2024


iCAN is proud to announce that Beazley are renewing their sponsorship for 2024 at our Bronze level.

This sponsorship is a testament to Beazley’s commitment to supporting ethnic minorities and international talents as well as contributing to the UK insurance industry becoming more ethnically diverse.

iCAN and Beazley’s partnership will aim at promoting Beazley’s culture, roles, and DEI initiatives in 2024 and we are excited to be working with Chelsey Sprong along with the Beazley team!

More about Beazley

In 1986, Beazley started amid a crisis in the US liability insurance market. Despite the challenging environment, the company viewed every risk as an opportunity for innovation. With minimal resources, they attracted a diverse team seeking adventure in the insurance industry.

Focusing on both risk and people, Beazley aimed to be the industry's problem solvers. They maintained an open mind, listened attentively, and persevered to find unique solutions.

Beazley champions diversity at every level. The company's inclusive hiring process ensures that all employees, regardless of background or career stage, can thrive. To maintain diversity of thought, Beazley sets challenging targets, regularly analyses demographics, and actively addresses any barriers to career progression for underrepresented groups.

Beazley's employee networks, led by team members, provide clear channels for voices to be heard and contribute to creating a more equal and inclusive culture.

The sponsorship

Beazley’s sponsorship will support a wide range of iCAN’s ongoing and newly launched initiatives for 2024. The initiatives include our INspire self-serving mentoring platform and iCANConnect, a safe space for D&I leaders across the insurance industry, as well as our iCAN Apply Jobs Board which aims to give more access for our members to opportunities within the insurance industry.

In addition to these three main initiatives, the sponsorship will support the continuation of the Coffee with the CEO series and a range of virtual and in-person events for the 5,000+ members based in the UK and internationally.

Chelsey Sprong, Head of Social Impact said:

We are so pleased to continue our partnership with iCAN. Embracing ethnic, racial and cultural diversity within the insurance industry fosters a more inclusive and representative environment, and iCAN do a fantastic job in bringing the industry together to learn, celebrate and take action.”
