Get to Know Your Council - July Release

Name: Joanne Hall

Occupation/Industry Experience:

I started working with Norwich Union (Aviva) way back in the last century, eventually leaving to form my own IT and training consultancy. I have worked across most departments of a typical general insurance company, most recently working with actuaries and underwriters to build rating algorithms and define underwriting rules. I also work with the examinations and training departments of the CII, developing new and existing general insurance courses.

How long have you been on the Insurance Institute of Norwich’s Council?

I first joined the Council in 2008, but work took me away from Norwich for several years, so I had to step down. Now I’m finally home for more than just weekends, I re-joined a few months ago.

What is your role, and what does it involve?

I’m just getting up to speed with the roles and responsibilities within the Council, which have changed during my time away, so I have no formal role other than to support the Officers of the Council.

What are you most looking forward to in the forthcoming year on the Council?

Finding my feet and actually being useful!

Tell us one unusual fact about yourself

I’m an obsessive traveller and have managed to tick the Galapagos Islands off my ‘bucket list’…..but that was over 5 years ago and now I’m tempted to go back.
