It is a true honour to be nominated as the President of the Insurance Institute of Liverpool for the 2022/23 term. To have the vote of confidence from the council members fills me with immense pride, and I intend to push forwards and maintain the high standards set by the former Presidents.

I am extremely happy that Damien Webster has been nominated Deputy President. Damien is a hardworking and dedicated council member who has excelled as CPD chair since taking over in 2020, arranging topical and relevant CPD events during the lockdown period and beyond.

I am very much looking forward to working with Damien and the rest of council over the next 12 months.

I would also like to say a special thank you and congratulations to Joseph Carr for an exceptional year as president.
