Great day out at the @InsuranceAge Broker Expo 2026 at the NEC yesterday, my time was mainly spent around the Academy stage looking at Future Careers, OK it did have a bit of a Thursday afternoon at BIBA feel (IYKYK!), but a really insightful and enjoyable afternoon

Wise words, Up The Gas!!!
This is EXACTLY what I think when I see blokes in Man Utd or Liverpool shirts stood on Bristol Parkway station to go up to watch the football. If you’re from Bristol you support City or Rovers. Dyer is bang on here. #BristolCity

So Mike Keating bet the ladies on our table I wouldn’t take my tie off - his loss is a donation to @InsuranceUAD and their choice of a swanky lunch. Sorry Mike, but very generous! #BIA2026 @Insurance_Post

Habitual photo of me all dressed up on the Bus on the way to the British Insurance Awards at the Royal Albert Hall. Looking particularly happy as I’ve managed to get the front seats upstairs, I can pretend I’m driving! #BIA2026 @Insurance_Post

Honoured to be asked to speak at the AXA UK 40 Years of AXA celebration last night in Ipswich. I dusted things off & talked about moving from (not quite) quill pens to cutting edge underwriting work benches, & from Tea Ladies to the AXA XL coffee robot in Gracechurch Street!

In Liverpool for the Labour Party Conference to launch @TheFPA_UK Manifesto, @RachelReevesMP just passed our stand, clearly on a mission but saw her glance at our objectives & no doubt internally agree with the things that can be done to improve Fire Safety!
