I started my insurance career in 1987 and have worked across the sector including stints at PwC and GISC and have led my own consultancy practice since 2004 working closely with AMII, BIBA and the CII and have provided hundreds of well-received (even entertaining!) talks. I am a recipient of the Thomson Reuters Compliance Personality of the Year Award, the London Market People Award for Legal and Compliance and was Highly Commended in the CII Public Trust Awards in 2021. I am proud to judge various insurance awards and am always being approached for engaging commentary and analysis.

I have been a regular speaker at virtually all of the CII’s local institutes and have provided over hundreds of events to thousands of insurance professionals and feedback has always been superb.

There will be tea and coffee on arrival.

We would love for you to stick around after the session to network and meet some of the team at CII Leicester, and as such there will reception drinks and canapes after the session.
