2nd Oct 2024 – CII coup

The CII coup appears to be happening

Do you know people involved? Have you got information that could help save our professional body? Please contact me urgently at hello@ourpfs.co.uk

It has been around a year since the last actions of ourpfs.co.uk, with a general feeling that issues between CII and PFS were in the process of being resolved.

Unfortunately, this has been blown wide open again thanks to incredibly questionable actions taken by the Chartered Insurance Institute on 1st October 2024.

Companies House shows a raft of new appointments to the PFS board.

  • Matthew Hill, current CEO of CII
  • Gill White, former interim CEO and current executive director of CII
  • Matthew Mallett, current executive director of CII
  • Trevor Edwards, current executive director of CII
  • Christine Elliot, independent chair

How is it possible that employees and executive directors of a related body – a body which owes the PFS over £10M via intercompany debts – not be immediately conflicted?

At this stage, we would like to remind all new appointees of their absolute fiduciary responsible to the membership of the PFS, as per the articles of association and UK company law.

OurPFS is urgently investigating and will be writing out with more details as soon as they are known. October 2024 may well turn out to be the month that defines the future of our professional body.

Please forward this email onto as many PFS members as possible, and encourage them to join our mailing list – you can sign up at https://ourpfs.co.uk. Those who want our professional body to flourish will need to act.

Speak soon

Alasdair Walker, OurPFS
