Clive takes the reins from outgoing President, Andy Hawkes.
Clive said: “A key focus for IIRSM, and myself in particular, during the next two years will be promoting the benefits of diverse workplaces. Teams that encourage diversity in gender, ethnicity, background and age are better equipped to encourage innovation and make informed business decisions.
“We’ll be focusing on education to improve mentoring, communication and leadership skills for everyone, which we believe will lead to more productive and happy workplaces.”
Andy Hawkes, Chief Executive of Cardinus Risk Management, and Ruth Denyer, Director of Risk at ITV, were re-elected as Trustees.
