Your local institute

Hello and welcome to the Chelmsford and South Essex CII

I am honoured to accept the position of President for The Insurance Institute of Chelmsford & South Essex for 2026/27. Our Local Institute is only capable of delivering on its objectives thanks to a strong and dedicated Council made up of members from the local industry, and you, the membership we serve by providing a host of CPD, networking and social events throughout the year.

I am proud to take the reins of this role from Aza Row, who achieved an incredible amount throughout his time in office, including creating a Council Apprenticeship scheme which has been recognised nationally to raising vital funds for a small charity close to his heart, and delivering many educational and networking opportunities for our membership.

My theme for the year will be ‘Community’.  We are now five years on from some sense of normality returning to the world after the covid-19 pandemic, and as such, it is my wish to spend the next year building partnerships with local employers in our community to develop the talent we have in our industry and help the next generation of leaders come to the fore.  This will be facilitated by an initiative called the 'Tour of Essex'.
