BMS Group confirmed as Silver Sponsor for 2023
iCAN is excited to announce BMS Group as a Silver Sponsor for 2023.
The sponsorship is effective until the end of 2023.
We understand the importance of creating an environment where people from different backgrounds feel valued and respected. This sponsorship is a reflection of BMS’s continued effort to build a diverse and inclusive workplace culture.
BMS UK CEO, Ian Gormley, addressed the importance of DE&I and shared their recent tangible milestones on a recent interview with Insurance Business UK.
“Business is not all about the bottom line. At BMS we feel strongly that there is a broader purpose to what we do as brokers and as employers, by helping people and communities flourish. We are constantly listening and launching new initiatives to promote a culture of inclusion and equity.”
“We are sponsors of the Insurance Cultural Awareness Network (ICAN) and will continue to support the market networks such as Link, the Insurance Families Network (IFN) and Gender Inclusion Network (GIN)… and whilst I recognise we have a long way to go and that work on DE&I may never be done, but we are seeing real progress through proactive sponsorship from our leadership team, dedicating resources and budget and empowering and encouraging all colleagues to play their part.”
