Dropping my 12th pint off to start the weekend. Made a little easier by @avivaplc who include donating blood in the volunteering hours all employees get. If you've not donated before, give it a go, stocks are currently running low across the UK. ##LifeAtAviva #givebloodsavelives #NHS https://lnkd.in/eXjEJqwY

Proud to be involved in the delivery of the Aviva Annual Report and Accounts today. As part of the team preparing the content for our Sustainability section it is great to see the whole Annual report process come together and also nice to see the market reacting positively so far today. I tip my hat to all involved in delivering this, it was a mammoth piece of work and I am proud to have played my part in it.

Receiving this from Make UK just before Xmas has made for a lovely end to the year. The diploma was graft - 15,000 words written and 3 weeks residential learning on top of the day job was a challenge. But so worth it. I learnt a lot and met some inspiring people. I look forward to kicking on in 2024 and putting more of what I learnt into action. It's great to work for a business that backs its people to learn and improve themselves. #PassedWithMerit #LifeAtAviva #MakeUKEHS #Sustainability

Really proud to be involved with this and great to see the reach of a shared post between the Aviva team and our friends and partners at WWF.

Another feather in the cap. Well done to the ops team on this, it is no small feat.

Great day at Banking Hall in London for the @avivaplc Brand and Corporate Affairs away day. It got off to a strong start with a visit from the CEO herself and kept going through updates from the Leadership Team, some fascinating data, a great case study from Dove and intriguing listening exercises. Great to catch up with so many faces in person rather than via Teams. #LifeAtAviva

Not often I post on LinkedIn but week 2 of the IEMA Sustainable Business diploma has been great (as was week 1). Stacks to learn and digest but it's a lot easier when you have a group of like minded folk to bounce ideas around with. Already looking forward to getting together for week 3. Also grateful to Aviva for backing me and making the time to train. Its underrated working for a company that genuinely invests in its employees. #sustainable #IEMA #LifeAtAviva

Inspired to attend a WWF Seagrass lunch and learn session on World Seagrass Day. Thank you to Lynsey McMaster-Green for setting it up.

Proud to work on another announcement that puts Aviva and it's biodiversity and climate change work front and centre. Also a treat to work with some superb people at The Woodland Trust. Great that the business takes its long term responsibilities seriously and understands that biodiversity and climate change are interlinked and have to be tackled accordingly. #climatechange #business #biodiversity #LifeAtAviva
