Empowering women in insurance with Zurich Club Blue
12/22/2025
As Zurich Club Blue enters its third year in May 2026, its foundation remains unchanged: Ease of Trading, Professional Development, and Future-Proofing. These pillars guide everything we do, ensuring brokers have the tools and support they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving market.
One of the standout initiatives in 2025 was the second year of our Women in Insurance programme, designed to empower female professionals across the insurance sector. Over four interactive sessions, women from all around the UK regions - from London to Belfast and Scotland - came together to share experiences, gain insights, and strengthen their leadership skills.
This programme isn't just about learning. It's about creating a community.
This year, participants explored topics such as:
- Supercharging your career: Practical strategies for growth and progression
- Managing conflict and communicating with ease: Building confidence in challenging situations
- Microaggressions and executive presence: Navigating workplace dynamics with professionalism
What our Zurich Club Blue brokers say
“I really enjoyed the event and felt re-energised after attending it. The group included ladies of varying ages which I felt this added to the whole experience and I definitely learnt from the younger ladies there. It was wonderful to be surrounded by other ladies in this profession, the breadth of female talent within this industry is immense.
Zurich obviously put a lot of time and effort into this event - the rooms were lovely, tea/coffee and cookies available all day, and a lovely lunch was provided. The facilitator for the event, Kate from Arcadia, was wonderful. She engaged everyone in the group with ease, which resulted in a lot of interaction and sharing.
I have to give a special mention to our Zurich host, Louise Martin - she was just perfect! Louise is the epitome of the consummate professional: kind and engaging, yet focused and driven. Louise participated fully in the round table discussions, yet still managed to make sure everyone had what they needed. She even provided sweets, a personalised notebook as a keepsake, and hosted a lovely Tapas meal on the last evening.
Zurich hit the nail on the head with this event. It did exactly what it said on the tin, it represented Women in Insurance and left me feeling re-energised and empowered. If Zurich were to run this event again, I would highly recommend we send another member of staff."
