Last night Ecclesiastical Insurance UK held its annual carol concert at Gloucester Cathedral. Not only does it kick off the festive period, it also raises a lot of money and every attendee can nominate a local charity for their chance to receive a vital cash boost...how's that for making you feel warm and fuzzy? Hats off to everyone involved in the event, especially Hannah Coleman, Sally Meadows, Michelle Douse, Mark Cowdell and Louise Daker - not to mention the Cathedral volunteers and all our speakers. A special mention to our brilliant Ecclesiastical staff choir, the kids from Upton St Leonard's school and Salvation Army Band who filled the magnificent Cathedral with Christmas cheer.

We are delighted to announce that Mark Bennett has been appointed as our Group CFO. In addition to his responsibilities as Group Chief Actuary, Mark has been serving as Acting CFO since July 2024.
