Join us on Tuesday 26th September for one of the highlights of our season of lunchtime lectures, as the respected industry "insider" Tony Cornell seeks to plot a course for insurers in these turbulent times.
Always interesting and often controversial, this is an opportunity to get an up to date market analysis for the Motor, SME and Commercial lines sectors from a senior figure in the insurance industry.

This is a rare opportunity to visit this fascinating organisation which provides a unique range of products and services to the insurance and motor repair industries and should be of interest to both those involved in motor insurance and all of us who own our own vehicles.

Please email Frank Heinrich-Jones at frankhj@btconnect.com for further details and to secure a place.
