I am excited to continue into my second term as your President and to lead the Insurance Institute of Blackburn & Burnley in 2019/20. I would like to offer my thanks to our council members for their continued support and hard work. 

I aim for our Institute to continue to build on, and add to, the fantastic CPD programme that we currently offer our members. This will include working closely with other local institutes to hopefully provide another North West Conference, and to provide additional full day events covering relevant and trending topics. 

With new council members taking on active roles, and existing council members continuing to offer support, knowledge and experience in key roles, I am excited for the year ahead, and look forward to our various social events and providing support to members wherever needed. I would love to see our council continue to grow, and see our members take an active role on council.

We feel promoting new ideas is extremely important in achieving the objectives of the Insurance Institute and the CII, and we would love to hear your views and feedback – please feel free to contact me for meeting dates in the coming year.
