Spring 2019 Issue 3
March Edition Brrr… Just as we start to see some Daffodils and plants budding once again, we can hopefully put our big coats away until next Winter. We haven’t hibernated away this Winter at all though, and we have seen many of you over the past few months. Winter car packs at the ready, we have ventured to all manners of places over the past three months.

December The Festive season saw us catching up with many of you. London was very much the destination of choice for both myself and Ben this month, with us being able to enjoy meeting with you in all manner of venues, from Christmas Markets to converted Victorian Baths. Back at the start of December, Robin ventured across to the Bristol area for a couple of days, taking in some of the fine sights of such a vast city. We were also fortunate to be invited to a magnificent building by Blink IS for our annual get together, an old converted Victorian Bath right in the heartbeat of the city of London. The architecture and design still gave the place that feel of being there all those years ago, and we enjoyed a fine meal.
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Ben headed to Hyde Park with a few brokers to take in Winter Wonderland. Ice skating, amusement rides, and plenty of festive games kept everyone in good spirits for what was a superb occasion… (the Mulled Wine helped too!)

January We saw the New Year with the wheels turning to many parts of the country. Robin has been able to venture out in his new car as of January, the new Nissan Qashqai, allowing for comfort on the long journeys up to Newcastle and Wakefield this month. Ben was able to touch down in other areas of the country, with visits in areas ranging from Southampton, Canterbury and Leicester. All this before ski-mad Ben took to the slopes on holiday in late January.
New Year Celebrations!
January also saw our annual staff party, held locally in Southend-on-Sea. We were treated to a fine evening of music from a superb local band. A great way to kick start 2019 in style! You might recognise the two people taking their unique Instagram picture here!

February Ben put his ski boots back in the wardrobe, and ventured down the south coast as far as Bournemouth & Poole this month, taking in some of the Jurassic coastline. We headed all over the country this month, with a few highlights including Nottingham, Birmingham, Norfolk, Colchester and Weston-Super-Mare!
Institute-tionalised in Birmingham!
Robin was delighted to join Wesleyan Insurance at their table at the recent Birmingham Insurance Institute dinner. The spectacular Birmingham Town Hall an incredible backdrop for such a prestigious evening. The evening paid respects to all of the hard work throughout the industry, and looked ahead to the future of both the Institute itself and the insurance industry as a whole.
