President's Message

Welcome to The Insurance Institute of Plymouth and Cornwall

For those who don’t know me, I’m Dylan Jarvis, a Marine Trades Underwriter for Everard Insurance in Plymouth, and I’m incredibly proud to be stepping into the role of President for the first time.

We represent around 1,000 members across Plymouth and Cornwall, split almost evenly between our CII and PFS communities — and it’s a real privilege to be part of such a strong and engaged local institute.

Serving on Council is entirely voluntary, and I won’t pretend it’s always easy — but it is genuinely rewarding. I’d really encourage you to come and have a chat with me or anyone on Council. You’d be very welcome to join us at a meeting and see what it’s all about.

We’ve got some fantastic events coming up this year. One of my personal favourites is our Summer Firework Event in August, where we hire a boat moored on the Sound and watch the National Fireworks Competition from one of the best views in the city (in my opinion!).

Then in October, we have the dinner to be at — a chance to celebrate our profession, recognise achievements across our community, and enjoy a great evening together. Expect great food, short speeches, and plenty of time on the dance floor. This year’s theme is a Masquerade Ball!

Finally, to make sure you don’t miss out, please sign up to receive our emails and consider joining our LinkedIn group to stay connected. If you’d like to learn more about the people behind the scenes, do take a look at our Meet the Council page.

Thank you again — I’m genuinely excited for the year ahead.
