Our profession thrives on trust and connection, yet faces a talent drought. It’s up to us to inspire, engage, and showcase the diverse, vital role we play. Your local institute is a catalyst for community, connection, collaboration, and growth. Volunteer. Mentor. Visit schools. Host career days. Network. Rooted in our values, let’s be the spark that lights the path for the next generation. Shaping the future starts here.

Welcome to the Insurance Institute of Bournemouth (IIB).

It is with immense pride and gratitude that I step into my second year as President of the IIB, this time for the 2025-26 term, and the institute’s 103rd year. Last year we raised awareness to the global threats to our industry and we discussed the evolving regulatory landscape. This year we would like to highlight the challenges within the advancements in technology (AI) and the ongoing market dynamics in a changing landscape.
