More about BHSpecialty
The BHSI story began in 2013, when Berkshire Hathaway Inc. CEO Warren Buffett announced that Berkshire Hathaway was moving into commercial insurance in a substantial — and everlasting — way. With that proclamation, a strong and eminently trustworthy insurance partner was born.
Since then, BHSI has grown steadily and strategically, fueled by stellar financial strength. We continue to move into new geographies and product lines. We’re regularly expanding our worldwide team, with professionals who share our customer-first philosophy and the dual requisites of strong capabilities and exemplary character.
BHSI is a worldwide team of individuals with excellent capabilities and strong character. Together, we bring diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to BHSI. We come from over 280 different companies and organizational cultures. As we embrace and are strengthened by our individual differences, we take great pride in the culture and place we create as one BHSI.
The sponsorship
BHSpecialty’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.
The Better Together Network at BHSpecialty shared:
“At Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance, we are delighted to continue our partnership with iCAN in the UK. Diversity, equity and inclusion remain a top priority for our company here in the UK and around the world.
