I am delighted to have been asked to be President of the Insurance Institute of Liverpool for the forthcoming year and am hoping that this time next year we can look back and say that it has been an exciting, interesting, and engaging year!

My aims for my year are to focus on showing insurance is a great career to enter, DE&I and social mobility, increasing CII membership where possible, and increasing participation from existing members. That is alongside hosting events catering to a range of interests with a common theme of networking and having fun.

I want to work collaboratively with local organisations including but not limited to Financial Liverpool, BIBA and ICAEW and will be looking explore how we can make this happen.

The IIL council is made up of a group of dedicated volunteers from all areas of the insurance and financial services industries. We are here to serve all of our members by; supporting those currently studying for professional qualifications, encouraging future generations to join the finance and insurance industries, providing an educational and insightful CPD programme, supporting vulnerable industry members and providing social events. I would encourage anyone interested in joining council to get in touch.
