Welcome to the Insurance Institute of Southampton website

Thank you for taking the time to view our website.

We hope that the information to be found in this site will encourage members and non-members alike, working in the insurance industry in our area, to keep abreast of what is going on and actively participate in Institute affairs.
 
The Insurance Institute of Southampton was founded in 1913, and we will be celebrating our centenary next year.  The Southampton Institute also incorporates the former Institutes of Portsmouth and Salisbury.  With a membership of approximately 3000 and growing, we are now one of the largest institutes in the country and have gained a reputation for having one of the best programmes of educational and social events for members during the year.

The role of the Institute is to provide educational and social activities for its members to encourage members to further their knowledge and professional development and to obtain professional qualifications through the Institute examinations.

Southampton is best known as a thriving port and as the home to some of the world’s greatest cruise liners who can now be seen regularly gracing the city’s skyline.  However, the local institute has ensured that Southampton has also become known in the industry over the last few years as a welcome haven for speakers during our educational programme.  The use of leading industry speakers and the dissemination of information to office representatives by email has combined to generate audiences in excess of 60 for most of our lunchtime meetings.  As our geographical area includes Portsmouth, educational meetings are also now held in Fareham thanks to the support of Zurich Corporate HQ making their seminar rooms and lecture theatre available to us.
 
Full details of the timetable of all of our events can be found under our Events Programme on the website and this will be updated regularly as and when additional events are confirmed. Details of the events will be circulated via email to office representatives as usual, but if you would like to receive details of the events direct, then click here to be added to our email list.
