Welcome to the Insurance Institute of London. I am honoured to lead the Institute as President for 2016-17.

The CII and the Institute have a substantial programme of talent and skills development planned for 2016-17, including world-class lectures and podcasts, revision lectures, educational visits, social and networking activities, and publications. I encourage all members to take full advantage of these activities.

The Institute's achievements would not be possible without the 400+ volunteers who contribute as committee members, speakers and facilitators, so my continued thanks to them for their hard work and commitment. We are always looking for more people to join us!

Membership of the IIL increased by over 6% in 2015-16 – a tremendous achievement.  The popularity and value of Chartered status is clearly increasing significantly, as is the Institute’s reputation for providing high quality continuing professional development for our membership.  At well over 23,500 the Insurance Institute of London incorporates roughly half the London Market.
