President's Message

Welcome to the Insurance Institute of Sussex website.

Thank you all for the support electing me as president for the 2026-2027 term - I’m thrilled to be provided with the opportunity. I’m looking forward to working with council members, local businesses, partners and members to continue the strong progress we have made under previous presidents, to ensure we provide value to all members, both CII and PFS.

My key areas of focus over the next 12 months will be:

Mental Health and Wellbeing continued – with a focus on health-related issues.

Supporting newer generations within the industry, ensuring positive relationship building skills.

Working further and closer with other Southern LIs, to ensure continued member benefits for all members within each institute.

I’m always open to ideas and suggestions for how best we are able bring value to you as members, so if you have any please do get in touch. Equally if you would like to become involved in your local institute, please do reach out. Our key goal is to provide benefits to all members, and I hope we’re able to during my tenure.

James Hoad, Dip CII
