Summer Community Drinks Party - 16th July 2026

Summer Community Drinks Party

Last night, we were delighted to welcome members of the LMF - London Market Forums community to our Summer Community Drinks Party on the rooftop terrace at LMF HQ – an evening that perfectly captured what our community is all about: bringing great people together.

A huge thank you to our valued Corporate Partner, Risk Ledger, for so kindly sponsoring the evening and helping us create another memorable gathering for the London Insurance Market.

The event also gave us the opportunity to celebrate some of the outstanding individuals recognised at this year’s LMF Market People Awards who were unable to attend the Awards evening. It was a real privilege for our CEO, Roger Oldham, to personally present their trophies and recognise their exceptional achievement and contribution.

Congratulations once again to:

  • Chris Lay – Lifetime Achievement Award Winner
  • Diana Galarraga Ortiz – Data, Analytics & AI Professional of the Year Winner
  • Candace Steele, CDir, FCA – London Market Mentor of the Year (Highly Commended)
  • Jonny Groves ACII CISMP – Underwriting Professional of the Year (Highly Commended)
  • Berna Tumer – Rising Star of the Year (Special Commendation)
  • Grace G. – Young Broker of the Year (Special Commendation)

As the sun set across the City skyline, the conversations, laughter, new introductions and renewed friendships reminded us why communities matter. In an increasingly digital world, there is still nothing quite like bringing people together face to face.
