It is a great honour to serve as the President of The Insurance Institute of Halifax for a second term.

Over the next 12 months, myself and council colleagues will continue to deliver a comprehensive CPD and social programme, with a number of events being aimed at our younger members.  Hopefully as the world returns to a ‘new normal’ we can begin to hold more of the face to face events which everyone enjoys, concluding with the Annual Dinner which we hope will make a return in April 2022 after being cancelled for two years.

My chosen charity for this year is Cancer Support Yorkshire.  Cancer Support Yorkshire were founded in 1988, and for the last 32 years they have opened their doors to people affected by a cancer diagnosis in Yorkshire when they have needed their help the most.  They offer both practical and emotional support, not only to patients but also to their families, leaving them feeling like someone is on their side.
