President's Message

It is an honour to be President of the Insurance Institute of Coventry for the next 12 months.

I’d like to take a moment to thank our outgoing President, Danielle Ashmore, for the outstanding job she’s done over the past year, along with our current council members for their continued support and time to help run our local institute. I hope to build on the excellent work over the past years to ensure our institute remains in a strong position for our members.

I’ve been a proud council member since 2010 and have had the privilege of undertaking various roles during that time. Being involved at different levels has given me a deep appreciation for the hard work and passion that so many of you bring to this profession.

During my term as President, one of my key aims is to bring greater unity between the insurance and financial services sectors. I believe we can achieve more when we work together and learn from each other, and I hope this brings closer connections and collaboration between our industries.

I also want to encourage more members to get involved in the Institute — whether that’s through attending social events, joining the council, or simply sharing your ideas.

My chosen charity for the year is Rosie’s Rainbow Pantry. Set up as Rosie’s legacy, this charity is dedicated to supporting families caring for a child in end-of-life care, by providing groceries, essential items and some luxuries, to help ease the burden during this challenging time and aiming to offer comfort and relief by ensuring that families have one less thing to worry about.

I look forward to an exciting year ahead and seeing our local institute develop further.
