President's Message

Welcome To the Insurance Institute of Manchester

2024/25 will be our 151st year as an institute. It really is an honour and a privilege to be President.

We are very fortunate that the Insurance Institute of Manchester has such diverse and enthusiastic volunteers who make up our Council and Committees. This allows us to stay relevant to our members whilst keeping some of our traditions which have made the institute so successful.

As a Mancunian who “fell” into insurance after leaving school I could never have imagined the opportunities and experience this industry had for me. I feel very proud to be part of the Manchester market and encourage anybody leaving school, college or university to consider a career in insurance.

We are a profession where relationships and networking are very important. One of my main objectives as President is to find the balance of in-person and virtual events. I feel we are still navigating our way through this, and both have their place. I would encourage people to support our in-person events wherever possible.

I would finally like to thank all of our sponsors for this year and for supporting our events and activities.

Platinum Sponsor - HSB

Gold Sponsors - Zurich, Touchstone Underwriting, Ignite, Create Solutions, McLarens, Bravo Networks, Crawford, Clyde & Co
