On Tuesday 26th March 2024, over 80 guests joined us in London at the Victorian Bath House for the exclusive “RTC” launch event. The meaning of “RTC” had been kept a closely guarded secret, with guests unaware of what would be revealed on the night.
We revealed RTC as Renovating the Classics – a new series taking world-famous art and introducing an entirely new renovation twist. It’s a tongue in cheek celebration of the human-centred creativity that sits at the heart of Renovation Underwriting and has enabled us to give many yesses where others said no.
The first four Renovating the Classics include a new take on Edvard Munch’s The Scream, reimagined with Notre-Dame de Paris in the background, engulfed in flames.
The card players in Paul Cezanne’s famous work have relocated to a site office, complete with architectural plans, hi-vis jackets and hard hats.
Grant Wood’s American Gothic and Van Gogh’s The Starry Night now depict some of the hallmarks of construction sites.
Welcome drinks were followed by a passionate speech, delivered by Managing Director Douglas Brown, in which he urged the gathered insurance industry leaders to celebrate and discuss the importance of continued creativity in our industry – not typically known for creativity.
