CII appoints Chris Hanks as president

The Chartered Insurance Institute has appointed Allianz UK’s general manager Chris Hanks as its president to take over from Barry Smith, the chief executive officer of Fortis UK.

Lockton International chief executive officer Julian James has been appointed deputy president.

Hanks says: “The insurance sector must promote its value to the public and raise its standing and reputation with the public.

“As a member of the professionalism task force, and now as president of the CII, I intend to be a strong advocate for the Aldermanbury Declaration and the promotion of talent within the sector and attracting the best from outside.

“A sector-wide commitment to a common framework for professional standards will create a virtuous circle of better outcomes for customers, resulting in improved public trust and confidence, which will in turn attract more talented people to pursue a career in our profession.“
