The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has decided to extend the term of the current serving President and Chair of the Board amid disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Nick Turner, Sales and Agency Director at NFU mutual, was appointed as President in 2019.
The CII usually appoints a new president and chair annually at the AGM, which usually takes place in the Summer.
Due to the pandemic, the 2020 AGM has had to be postponed to the Autumn.
“It has been a privilege to act as President of the CII at such an important and historic moment,” said Turner.
“In these times of ever-increasing uncertainty, I see a real opportunity for us all to focus on building a greater level of consumer trust in our profession, and I will continue to do so for as long as the CII needs my service.”
“This is a time of severe disruption for the UK, and indeed the world, and has brought much financial difficulty for many,” said Sian Fisher, CEO of the Chartered Insurance Institute.
“At this time, trust is perhaps the most significant factor in determining how well we as a profession are able to serve society, both now and during less stressful times.
“I am delighted that Nick Turner will extend his Presidency and enable us collectively to continue serving our clients the best that we can.”
