Rabbit bounced for puppet

On the surreal side, healthplan provider HSA’s new mascot (to replace the rabbit) was unveiled this week – the curious “Sleeve”.

HSA says it is reassuring and represents the “health conscience and light-hearted solution to problems” that is HSA.

Backchat was pleased to receive a kit to create its very own Sleeve puppet – some cotton thread and a needle.

It could also come in handy when the loose button on Backchat’s collar makes its bid for freedom.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
