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.
Insurance Corporation are delighted to announce that we will continue to be main sponsors for The Optimists Club and their Jersey Battle of Flowers exhibit for a further 3 years!
This years battle saw The Optimists Club come away as winners for a third year in a row with their fantastic ‘Prix d’Honneur’ float! (See below)
Based around the Chinese New Year celebrations; it depicted various rockets, a large dragon-themed Catherine wheel centre piece, smaller Catherine wheels all over the float and a large carnival dragon at the front. Work on the float took roughly 7 months – a huge task!
The club, who we have had a long-standing sponsorship with, also won: Class 11 – first, Clubs and Associations Award; Animation Award; Moonlight Parade Carnival Atmosphere Award; Spectators Award and Best Illuminated Float.
After such a fantastic Battle this year – we’re looking forward to seeing what the team produce for 2015.
“…ICCI’s endless support has been invaluable and proven to be not only an asset but a real driving force behind our success.” Paul Michel, Chairperson of The Optimists Club.
We recently enjoyed a fantastic evening at the CII Jersey Annual Dinner, and are delighted to announce that team member Vicky Vellam won the ‘Young Achiever of the Year’ award!
Sinead Maguire also picked up a Young Achiever award, and ICCI’s Natasha Lucock received a recognition award for the 9 years she served as a member of the Insurance Institute of Jersey council.
Congratulations to Vicky, Sinead and Natasha – and here’s to another great year!
