Welcome to the Insurance Institute of Southampton. It is with great humility and honour that I take on this role as the first member of the Personal Finance Society (PFS) and perhaps financial services professional to serve as President in the Institute’s 108 year history.

In this very challenging times for all our members and clients, we as an Institute like every professional body, institution and business in the country have had to adapt to new ways of conducting business, of running our education and CPD programme and our communication to our members and clients.

My key themes for 2020/2021 are as follows: 

Providing as much support as possible to all our members through the provision of a comprehensive CPD and exam support programme via online distance learning and video conference programming. We will still host face to face meetings as and when HM Government’s guidelines and the lockdown eases sufficiently to allow us to organise such events.
