Claire Kitchinson

President of Nottingham Insurance Institute

It is a privilege to have been elected as President of the Nottingham Insurance Institute for a further 12 months. I am honoured to continue serving our members and helping to shape another successful year for the Institute.

Over the past 12 months, we have delivered an excellent programme of CPD and social events, including the continued success of InsurED 2025. Looking ahead, we will be trialling face-to-face events once again, with the aim of making them more engaging and appealing for our members.

One of my key priorities is to ensure we continue to support and engage with all our members, while also inspiring and welcoming the next generation of insurance professionals into our industry. Building strong connections across our membership will help ensure the Institute continues to thrive for years to come.

The support we have received from both our Council members and our wider membership has been outstanding. Thank you to everyone who has attended our CPD events, Annual Dinner and InsurED. Your participation is what makes these events such a success, and I look forward to seeing that support continue throughout 2026.

Our Council members are all volunteers who generously give their time to organise educational and social events, while undertaking a variety of roles that keep the Institute running successfully. I would like to thank each of them for their dedication, hard work, support and guidance. If you are interested in becoming involved and joining our Council, I would be delighted to hear from you. Please email me at President@thenii.org.uk.

I am also pleased to continue supporting Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance as my chosen charity. The charity receives no direct Government or NHS funding for its daily missions and relies on the generosity of supporters to continue its lifesaving work. Their highly skilled doctors, paramedics and pilots provide critically ill and injured people with the very best chance of survival, and I hope we can continue to support this incredible cause throughout the coming year.

I look forward to working with you all over the next 12 months and thank you once again for your continued support of the Nottingham Insurance Institute.
