Penny Black’s Social Diary: Crawford’s wind; Zurich’s golfing prowess

Gust of glam in Copenhagen

Still nursing a canapé hangover from the insurance industry’s endless fizz-fuelled mingling, I nearly choked on my oat flat white when I thought I spotted Charlotte Ainsworth, senior manager at Crawford Forensic Accounting Services, announcing she had wind. Quelle horreur!

But fear not, darlings – it turns out the ever-elegant Ainsworth was simply touching down at Wind Europe conference in blustery Copenhagen, not suffering the after-effects of last night’s vol-au-vents. Phew.

She was all set for a whirlwind of panels, power lunches and possibly a puff of Baltic breeze.

One thing’s for certain: where there’s wind, there’s power – and we’re totally here for it even if her post proved I should have gone to Specsavers. Penny and Insurance Post ❤️ wind (and all the other renewables, too).

Penny’s Lunch Box

The Chartered Institute of Loss Adjuster’s President’s Lunch saw waistlines expanded with a dash of spice. The starter was a delicately seasoned shredded chicken and feta filo parcel while the claims industry was served a halibut biryani for main. The lunch proved loss adjusters can handle a little risk – at least when it comes to lightly spiced quinoa rice. Four stars, as the portions could have been mightier.
