As we approach International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8, QIB Group is proud to kick off our Celebrating Our Women series. Every Friday in the lead up to 8 March, we will be shining a spotlight on the remarkable women within our business, sharing their stories and achievements. This year’s IWD theme, Accelerate Action, highlights the importance of driving meaningful progress toward gender equality.

Our first feature in this series is Amanda Knipler, Insight Support Officer at QIB Group. Amanda’s journey is one of perseverance, self-belief, and a commitment to excellence. Her story is a testament to the power of determination and continuous learning in the workplace.

Meet Amanda Knipler

What inspires you in your career?

“I’m a quiet achiever, and I work hard. I take pride in efficiency and keeping my workspace organised. My inspiration comes from being in control of my work—working through lists and completing tasks gives me a sense of accomplishment and calmness.”

Achievements in the Insurance Industry

Amanda has navigated challenges with resilience, especially as a woman in the insurance sector. “When I was broking, I wasn’t always taken seriously because of my young-sounding voice and petite stature. However, I built trust with my clients by consistently demonstrating my knowledge and ability to help them with their insurance needs.”

Now, as an Insight Support Officer, Amanda finds fulfilment in sharing her expertise. “I’m proud to assist the Group with their queries, passing on the knowledge I’ve gained over the years.”

Advice for Young Women in the Industry

Amanda encourages young women to embrace opportunities, even when they seem daunting. “Keep working hard and take opportunities when they arise, even if they scare you. Believe in yourself—you’re braver than you realise.”

Accelerating Action for Gender Equality

Reflecting on this year’s IWD theme, Amanda highlights the importance of using her voice. “Over the past few years, I’ve learned how to speak up. Women need to continue voicing their opinions and proving their worth. Persistence is key—if you continue to do something long enough, you will succeed.”

At QIB Group, we are proud to celebrate inspiring women like Amanda. Her story exemplifies the power of resilience and self-confidence in driving change.
