Story

In loving memory of Ian Wicks, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Ian was thoughtful, kind and empathetic, and had an infectious sense of humour that brightened up every room he entered. Ian’s career at Acrisure Re was defined by his professionalism and respect for his colleagues.

Tragically, in April 2024, Ian, aged 66, suffered a fatal brain aneurysm whilst practicing at the golf driving range. Whilst we cannot bring him back, we can ensure his memory lives on and in his honour Acrisure London has committed to supporting Brain Research UK as its Charity of the Year 2025 to raise funds for vital brain health research. It is a cause that is very close to our hearts.

Brain Research UK are the leading national funder dedicated to research into neurological conditions. Their vision is a world where everyone with a neurological condition lives better, longer.
