President’s Message

I am delighted to be President of the Sheffield Local Institute for the second time and am enormously proud to represent one of the most active local institutes in the UK local Institute network.  The council of the Sheffield Institute is made up of a range of professionals across all aspects of Insurance and Financial Services and it is this diversity that I believe enables us truly to represent the many and varied businesses that operate in our area. 

One of the main themes for my presidential year is to encourage even more people to become active members of our institute and to ensure that all employers and employees in our area know who we are and how they might engage with us. 

Outside of the work for our members, I am keen that we continue to forge links with the Educational Establishments in our area, to ensure that the young people studying there are able to make informed decisions about working in our sector, something that wasn’t available when I started in this industry some 32 years ago.
