The vision to succeed

Whether dealing in life, non-life, Lloyd’s or the London market, insurance firms of all kinds face the challenge of increasing regulatory scrutiny, pressures on margins, and the need to keep pace with the digital-first world.

Digital transformation is no longer a competitive advantage. It’s now table stakes for competing in a word where platform-based business models and ecosystems are fast becoming the future of the industry. The insurance firms of tomorrow are increasingly becoming technology companies that sell or distribute insurance, and this adds immense pressure to secure the best talent with the vision, the commercial know-how, and the traditional industry knowledge needed to succeed.

“Ben’s support and advice has been a significant contributing factor in influencing our thoughts and views as we have been defining our workplace culture, ensuring it is more diverse and inclusive. He has advised, and helped enrich our approach, as we set up our internal employee resource groups to enhance workplace inclusion, and as a key recruitment partner he was instrumental in supporting our efforts to recruit more diverse candidates, particularly through an LGBTQ+ lens. In recognition of our DEI cultural initiatives, in 2019 Covea won the Diversity Award at the British Insurance Awards, and the Diversity and Inclusion Award at the Yorkshire Financial Awards.
