In my second term as a local Institute President but first as Exeter Institutes President, my intention is to maintain a position of continuity following an excellent two year term by my immediate predecessor Matthew Pyke.

I joined Council to not only support the Exeter Institute but also encourage my colleagues and other insurance professionals to get involved with their local institute. During my one year Presidency, I will support the continued development of the YPG, encourage more diversification of some of the CPD activity and topics for the CII and PFS whilst leading the highly professional volunteer Council to deliver its core functions, objectives and responsibilities.

I have been pleased to open my Cornish Mutual office in Willand’s doors to CPD events, exam coaching days both for CII and PFS and will be happy to welcome our Membership over the forthcoming year with an open door opportunity and policy available to all members.

This is your Institute and without your support, commitment, feedback and time it would cease to be as effective and vibrant as it has been especially over the last few years.
