What an evening at the MetLife Risk Report event. 💜
A big thank you to Rupinder for inviting me to step outside the usual conference-room setting and be part of something a little different.
I was proud to be there representing Shield Financial trading style of Smart Choice Financial Services Ltd, in a room filled with leaders from different AR firms and Networks working alongside MetLife.
It was an evening of meeting new people, hearing different opinions, exchanging experiences, catching up and raising a glass with familiar faces, while also finding out just how incredibly MetLife is performing and the impact they continue to make within our industry.
And a special thank you to the Zuza Ritter one of those people who believed I could do it and cheered me on. ❤️ Sometimes having someone believe in you makes more difference than they probably realise.
One statistic from the evening really stayed with me:
👉 27.4 million A&E visits in the UK
👉 18.5 million hospital stays
Numbers like these remind us why protection matters.
Behind every statistic is a person, a family, an income, a mortgage and a life that can change unexpectedly.
Great conversations, familiar faces, new connections and definitely an evening worth remembering. 💜🥂
