Welcome to the Insurance Institute of Royal Tunbridge Wells. 

It is a privilege to have been honored with the role of president for the coming year.

As an insurance professional who has been working in insurance since 1988, I am a more recently qualified CII member. I made the decision to qualify as I believe professionalism is led by knowledge and the CII provides great learning opportunities with the local institutes providing further support through a program of CPD, networking and charitable events that help builds us as individuals.

My experience spans a mixture of roles in the general insurance broker market with a brief spell being the man from the Prudential. Over time I have moved away from customer facing roles to the support functions that make a business tick. The various businesses I have been part of have a common thread; their success was based on the professionalism of their team. I have helped develop my teams by ensuring training and development is high on the agenda and which the CII and local institute can support.
