It is an honour to become President of this wonderful institute for this year where I have been an active committee member for the past 6 years.

The past 12 months have been a challenging year for us all but has also shown how adaptable we are as an institute with being able to move our training provide CPD online. With the way that that world is changing I see this as a way for our institute and that we should continue to deliver training online via webinar as this allows us to reach a wider audience with in not only the Luton and Hertfordshire area but also further afield.

Therefore, my vision for the Luton and Hertfordshire Institute this year is to continue and develop our provision of online training reaching a wider audience. This does not mean that we will move away from face-to-face training but will look to provide this for larger events like the annual conference.

I also want to continue our development of young and new professionals with providing guidance into the CII and what opportunities there is for them with in the insurance industry.
