We would like to thank our sponsors who continue to support the awards, Pension Insurance Corporation (PIC), Bolton Associates and Star Actuarial Futures.
Helen Kinloch, PIC Talent Acquisition Manager: We are delighted to sponsor Actuarial Post’s - Actuary of the Year award 2024 for the first time. PIC is a company with a clear purpose, a strong link to the creation of social value, and a culture that allows our employees to grow with the company and see the contribution they make to our success. PIC pays the pensions of hundreds of thousands of members and former members of UK defined benefit pension schemes. We invest in long-term assets, like UK infrastructure and regeneration projects, to provide the very long-term cashflows we need to pay those pensions over the coming decades. These investments have the beneficial outcome of supporting jobs and apprenticeships, driving economic growth, and creating significant social value. We look forward to announcing the winner!
Zoe Bolton, Managing Director at Bolton Associates: As we enter our tenth consecutive year of sponsoring the GI Actuary of the Year award, the team at Bolton Associates continues to grow in our niche sector, focusing on actuarial and analytics within the general insurance market specifically. The recruitment market within the GI Actuarial sector has been frantic this year, and shows no sign of abating. There has been an increase of pricing roles, partly due to tech transformation and also with a substantial amount of movement within reinsurance and casualty.
Richard Foulds, Associate Director, Star Actuarial Futures: We’re excited at Star Actuarial to sponsor the Sustainability Actuary of the Year Award 2024. In its simplest terms, sustainability is about keeping something going. Business leaders make important decisions daily in response to changing regulatory, economic and societal conditions. All the time trying to keep a fine balance between long term plans and short term actions. All to keep their business going. To some, sustainability is a societal responsibility at the heart of all decisions, to ensure that we have a healthy environment in the future. Others might be more focused on having a business that still exists in the future, in an economically challenging market.
And this is what makes this topic so important and interesting. How do we find that real world balance between commercial and environmental priorities? Actuaries are ideally placed to find this balance. Whether you’re a financial reporting analyst in the life sector, a pricing actuary in the London Market, or an investment consultant advising a trustee of a pension scheme, you have the skills needed to guide these decisions. These awards offer us all a fascinating opportunity to see and celebrate the profiles of different people who are working in the sustainability space, and learn what has been happening at the individual and company level over the last 12 months. I can’t wait to see this year’s winner!
