President’s Message

My main theme for my year as President is to make our institute better connected and more visible in the community, not only to members but principally to the organisations they work for. Without local support, local institutes cease to perform and sadly a few institutes have closed in recent years as they lacked active involvement from the working professionals and the firms they work for. Please offer your support to make this institute work in your and everyone's best interests.

Welcome to the Insurance Institute of Bedford and Milton Keynes, a small but vibrant local institute which has been established for 102 years.

I am delighted to serve as your President again for the 2025-26 term. My first tour of duty as President was in 1990-91 and the insurance and financial services landscape has certainly changed significantly over the interim years. What has not changed is the Chartered Insurance Institute’s focus on being a first class professional membership body, setting industry standards, encouraging professionals to gain respected qualifications and to continue to grow their skills to meet the challenges and customer needs of the twenty first century.
