Partners& celebrates women in art

Partners& and Hiscox are bringing together women from across the art insurance market for a special event to recognise the achievements of women in this vibrant sector.

From breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated spaces to redefining artistic expression, women in fine art have left an indelible mark on history, and yet are historically underrepresented. The event is both a celebration and a platform to explore, inspire, and advocate for greater recognition and inclusion in the art world.

A key highlight of the evening will be a panel of experts discussing and showcasing the contributions of women who have shaped the art world with their creativity, resilience, and vision.

The Speakers are:

  • Raku Sile, Founder of Addis Fine Art
  • Sophie Schneideman, Owner, Sophie Schneideman Rare Books & Prints
  • Virginia Sykes-Wright, Founder of London Asian Contemporary Art
  • Rachel Doerr, Managing Director, Doerr Dallas Valuations
  • Preet Jolly, Fine Art Underwriter, Hiscox
  • Grace Best-Devereux, Major Complex Loss Adjuster, Sedgwick
I hope this evening will spark meaningful conversations, ignite new ideas, and most importantly, celebrate the power of art as a force for change. We’re keen to showcase the exceptional talent that we have in our sector, and inspire others to join us. We’re so grateful to Hiscox for opening their doors and sharing their fabulous collection with us. It’s going to be a special evening.

The event is part of a wider Partners& initiative to shine a spotlight on the insurance sector as a viable and rewarding career option. Recognising that insurance broking is in need of bright, young, ambitious talent from a wide variety of backgrounds, it has a programme of events aimed at providing the next generation with a vision of what a fulfilling career looks like, and forms a key part of the People and Sustainability pillars of its strategy.
