Dear esteemed members of the Insurance Institute of Northern Ireland,

I am honoured to address you as the newly appointed president of our esteemed institute. It is with great enthusiasm and a deep sense of responsibility that I embark on this journey alongside each and every one of you.

First and foremost, let us reconnect with one another. The past few years has undoubtedly tested our resilience, but it has also reminded us of the importance of our work. Insurance plays a vital role in safeguarding individuals, families, and businesses during times of uncertainty.

Reengagement is key to rebuilding and moving forward. I encourage you to actively participate in the events, webinars, and workshops organised by our institute. Engage in thoughtful discussions, exchange ideas, and collaborate on innovative solutions that will help us adapt to the evolving needs of our clients and industry.
