The Roof Terrace Summer BBQ: iCAN, Insurance Institute of Manchester, BIBA Manchester and Clyde & Co
iCAN teamed up with the Insurance Institute of Manchester, BIBA Manchester, and our fantastic sponsor Clyde & Co to host a summer networking evening that brought together the heart of the Manchester insurance market.
Held on the roof terrace at Clyde & Co’s Salford offices, the event offered the perfect setting to connect, unwind, and celebrate collaboration across the local industry. With panoramic views of the Manchester skyline, a relaxed atmosphere, and a BBQ to match, it was an evening to remember.
Building Connections, One Conversation at a Time
From early-career professionals to experienced industry leaders, the evening drew a diverse group of attendees from across the region. The aim? To create space for genuine connection, peer support, and community building—the kind of environment where new relationships flourish and longstanding partnerships are reinforced.
Mohammed Enamul Islam, iCAN’s Manchester Lead, shared his reflections on the night:
“It was great to catch up with our brilliant partners and collaborate with the Insurance Institute of Manchester and BIBA Manchester – the first of many, I’m sure.
A huge thanks to Clyde & Co for hosting us in such a stunning setting.
Amazing to see the Manchester insurance market thriving! Summer rooftop vibes, great views, and fantastic company all around.”
A Night of Collaboration and Community
This event marked an exciting moment for iCAN in the North of England, reinforcing the importance of regional partnerships and local engagement. The energy, positivity, and sense of purpose on the rooftop served as a reminder of the strength and vibrancy of the Manchester insurance community.
We’re especially grateful to:
Clyde & Co, for generously hosting us in such a beautiful space
Our partners at the Insurance Institute of Manchester and BIBA Manchester, for helping to make the evening a success
And to everyone who attended and contributed to the fantastic atmosphere
As our regional networks continue to grow, we look forward to hosting more events in Manchester and beyond.
Thank you for joining us—and we can’t wait to see even more of you at the next one.
