About

The Insurance Breakfast Club helps organisations within risk & insurance to develop a pipeline of female talent and accelerate their progression through a series of highly practical, bite-sized, industry-specific development events.

We feel strongly that in order to ensure women have the chance to thrive in their careers they need two things:

1 – a supportive, flexible, inclusive environment in which they can bring their full talents to work

2 – confidence, knowledge, skills & a strong professional network

Through our consulting business The Progress Partnership we help companies achieve no. 1 and The Insurance Breakfast Club provides no. 2.

The Insurance Breakfast Club helps organisations to develop a pipeline of female talent and accelerate their progression through a series of highly practical, bite-sized, industry-specific development events.

Who is the club for?

Exclusively for women working within the risk & insurance sector, the club is designed to bridge the gap between graduate schemes & senior leadership programmes.

It is ideal for women who:

you identify as talented; those you want to retain and develop
work in client or market facing roles, operations, finance, claims or supporting functions
aspire to progress in their careers, have a growth mindset and are keen to develop their skills as well as support others to do the same
have a line manager who supports their development.

Typically, women being nominated / invited to apply for this programme have between 10 and 15 years experience in the market.

Experience is not a strict criterion, we share this only as a guide. Aspiration and potential to progress as well as an open mindset to development being the most important areas to ensure full participation and engagement (and therefore success) on the programme. All potential members will be interviewed prior to acceptance to ensure that this programme is best suited to their development needs.
