At Insurance Corporation we're very proud of our staff and island roots, here are a few of the activities we've been up to recently both professionally and in the community.
Donna Binet, senior claims handler at Insurance Corporation and former President of the Insurance Institute of Jersey, has been awarded the Advanced Diploma in Insurance (ACII) by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII). Donna is delighted to have secured this coveted status and said, ‘The Advanced Diploma sets a high standard of competence and integrity and I’m really proud to have reached this level of professionalism within the industry. I have been with ICCI for 5 years (in March) and am so very grateful for their support and encouragement along the way.’

After a year of cancellations due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we were so pleased to be able to host our Health & Social Care Bursary again, especially on its 30th anniversary! As always, we received a number of impressive applications and were amazed at the innovative ideas put forward. This year, Kelly Marquis, a paramedic frailty practitioner on secondment from the St John Emergency Ambulance Service to HSC, won first place and received the top prize of £2,500 to get her idea off the ground.
Today, Insurance Corporation celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Health & Social Care Bursary, which helps HSC staff bring their ideas on how to improve the provision of health and care in the Bailiwick to life.
In 2019, the judges of the Insurance Corporation Health & Social Care Bursary were incredibly impressed by the enthusiasm and passion of the group behind the RITA Project. The project uses reminiscence therapy, also known as life therapy, to treat severe memory loss or dementia. It could include looking back on old photographs or listening to songs from decades past.
Deborah Harris, Moira Norman and Olwen Bain-Brehaut highlighted the growing evidence supporting the use of digital reminiscence therapy as a tool to improve the experience of patients in hospital and other care settings. Hoping to replicate the results being achieved in the UK with the use of machines called RITAs, they put their idea forward and were thrilled to receive the Bursary’s top prize of £2,000.
Insurance Corporation of the Channel Islands is proud to announce that Emily Tullier, who works in our underwriting team as our Trading & Service Lead, is the only Channel Islander to have been selected to take part in the Chartered Insurance Institute’s flagship talent New Generation Programme. After a competitive application process, with about 130 other candidates, she now has a chance to help shape the UK’s insurance profession.
