Celebrating Professional Achievement: Leicester CII Members Gain New Qualifications and Designations

The Insurance Institute of Leicester is delighted to recognise and congratulate members who have achieved new professional qualifications and designations over the past year.

The latest results, provided by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) in September 2026, highlight the dedication, hard work and commitment to professional development demonstrated by members across the insurance and financial planning sectors.

From Certificates and Diplomas to Advanced Diplomas and Fellowship, these achievements represent significant milestones in our members' professional journeys and reflect the strength of talent within our local industry.

Recognising Our New Fellows

We are particularly pleased to congratulate four members who have achieved Fellowship, one of the highest professional distinctions awarded by the CII:

• James Franklin, Cornerstone Wealth

• Akshay Gohil, Cavendish Medical

• Colin Reid, Salisbury House

• Stephanie Tennant, Efficient Portfolio

We also congratulate George Hardy of AJ Gallagher and Alexander Reuszel of Aon on achieving the ACII designation.

Alongside these achievements, numerous members have attained the APFS designation, Diplomas in Insurance and Financial Planning, and a wide range of professional Certificates.

Each qualification reflects an investment in knowledge, expertise and professional standards, helping to strengthen our industry and the quality of service delivered to clients.

Celebrating Success Together

To recognise these achievements, all newly qualified Fellows and Associates, together with a partner or guest, have been invited to the Insurance Institute of Leicester's Annual Dinner on 13 November 2026.

The evening will provide an opportunity to celebrate their success alongside fellow professionals and recognise the commitment required to achieve these prestigious designations.

Supporting Professional Development

At the Insurance Institute of Leicester, we remain committed to supporting members at every stage of their professional development.

Whether embarking on their first qualification or progressing towards Chartered status and Fellowship, we recognise the determination and perseverance involved in balancing study with professional and personal commitments.

Congratulations to every member who has achieved a new qualification or designation. Your achievements are something to be proud of, and we look forward to celebrating your continued success.
