Dear Members,

It is both an honour and a privilege to take on the role of President of the Insurance Institute of Norwich for the coming year. I’m incredibly grateful for the support and encouragement I’ve received from so many along the way.

A special thank you goes to Alycia Thomson, our outgoing President. Over the past 12 months, Alycia has been a fantastic mentor—her guidance has been instrumental in preparing me for this role. Under her leadership, enthusiasm within our Council has flourished, and our presence in the local community has grown significantly. I’m fortunate to inherit such a strong and motivated team.

I’m also delighted to have Amaia Robbins as my Deputy President this year. Her experience and organisational skills have already proven invaluable, particularly in her previous role as Dinner Secretary. I look forward to working closely with her as we continue to develop and deliver for our members.
