Penny Black’s Insurance Week- 22 June 2015
Last week Penny attended the highlight of the risk manager's social calendar - Airmic 2015.
Aside from goody bags filled to the brim with jelly beans, countless notebooks and even a portable smartphone charger, Penny also mastered the art of posing in a photobooth, with the lovely chaps at Crawford & Company.
An invaluable skill, as Penny is something of a celebrity in those circles, after all. Less lovely was the discovery that one of her esteemed industry contacts had popped back to his hotel to change his suit before RSA's notoriously raucous drinks bash - to ensure he avoided getting vomit on his good suit.
Penny appreciates that forewarned is forearmed, but was thankful for her iron constitution.
