On Monday 29th April 2025, The Insurance Institute of Newcastle upon Tyne held its AGM for 2025/26. I am delighted to announce I was re-elected as President for another year along with Rachel Jefferson as Deputy President. 

I would like to say a huge thank you for everyone on council and the YPG for their continued efforts. We are a volunteer led council comprised of General Insurance & Financial Services professionals and our mandate is simple, to add value to the CII & PFS members of the North East.

In terms of theme, I would like to continue the theme of ‘Progression’. I love the saying ‘Progression, not perfection.’ Every single one of us are from different backgrounds, have done different things and have different levels of experiences, both personally and professionally. However, we are all on the same path, whereby we are trying to progress in some way. It never ends!! 

I’m delighted to announce my chosen charity for 2025/26 is Feeding Families
