More about Phoenix Group
Phoenix is the UK’s largest long term savings and retirement business. Their customer brands include SunLife, Standard Life, Phoenix Life, and ReAssure. While they have a thriving ‘open’ business through the Standard Life and SunLife brands, a key driver of value for them is their expertise in managing ‘heritage’ books of business no longer open to new customers.
They have offices around the UK as well as operations in Dublin and Frankfurt. As one of Britain’s Top Employers, they offer opportunities for you to challenge and develop yourself in a company that looks after their colleagues, customers and communities.
They want Phoenix Group to reflect the customers they serve and the communities they operate in. They're striving to make sure their workplace is diverse. A place where all colleagues are treated with respect and dignity and able to bring their whole self to work.
Building a diverse workforce allows them to attract the best talent, broaden their skillsets and widen their thinking. Ultimately, it helps them deliver the best outcomes for their customers.

Phoenix Group’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.
Dilesh Sangaran, Public Relations Manager, Phoenix said:
