Solvent exit and assurance webinar
Wednesday 18 February 2026, 10:30 – 11:30
Regulators are placing increasing emphasis on robust solvent exit planning – both as a governance practice and a mechanism to protect policy holders, the business and responsible individuals should severe scenarios arise.
This session will provide a practical update on the regulatory expectations surrounding solvent exit analysis, with a particular focus on what Boards and accountable individuals will be required to evidence as frameworks continue to sharpen through 2026.

The FTSE Women Leaders Review
Tuesday 24 February 2026, 10:15 - 11:30
The FTSE Women Leaders Review has made remarkable strides, with the FTSE 350 achieving over 40% women’s representation on boards ahead of the target. However, our work is far from complete. Achieving gender balance and diversity on boards and leadership teams has never been more crucial to harness the wealth of experience, expertise and skills essential for business to navigate our increasingly complex environment successfully.
We therefore warmly invite you to join us for the 2025 report launch, where we will share new and exclusive findings on the progress made in achieving gender balance during the year, together with a look back over the five years of this Review cycle. We are delighted that the Department of Business & Trade, the Chancellor and the Minister for Women & Equalities will be sharing their support for the Review, and we are excited to host a panel of distinguished guests who will provide insights on how they are accelerating progress.
