Thomas Gilbank
- Marketing Manager, Mendix.

"Mendix has been a partner of LMForums since 2019, during which time we've had the opportunity to engage with a wide variety of their Practitioner Members and learn from the Market, as well as share our subject matter expertise in technology and automation. Roger and his team consistently deliver events of a very high standard, based on their exceptional domain knowledge, and have developed a range of useful engagement tools, such as their Market People Magazine. We really value our relationship with LMForums and their extensive work in the insurance sector!”

Thomas Gilbank - Marketing Manager, Mendix. 

“I’ve been a Practitioner Member since LMForums was formed and recall their first Christmas drinks at Corney & Barrow on Lime Street with about 15 other people. Who’d have imagined the massive growth and impact that this inspiring team would have generated, with their thousands of members across the Market. LMForums has gone from strength to strength and continue to improve, despite the difficulties of the Pandemic during 2020 - quickly diverting their popular face to face sessions for an interactive online format. I remain a member of LMForums because they continually bring together such a diverse range of people and have engagement from many senior members of the Insurance industry who are willing to share their experiences. I genuinely see LMForums as hosting some of the most prestigious events and its a privilege to be a part of. These interactions bring me closer to supplier and other experts and helps keep me at the leading edge of change in my area of work, gaining knowledge via their healthy round table discussions and super presentations. Highly recommended. ”

- Strategic Change Leader: Process Optimization & Automation at Aon.

“The collaborative and cooperative nature of the London Market is one of the most important aspects of our industry. When the global pandemic hit, London Market Forums quickly pivoted to a digital format providing access to the wider professional community of specialists and practitioners. I’d like to congratulate Roger, Oscar and the entire London Market Forums team for their agility during the pandemic and their continued dedication to the London Market.”

Erik Douglass - Strategic Change Leader: Process Optimization & Automation at Aon. 

“London Market Forums is a hands-on insurance club that takes care of all the details from A to Z for all the events that they organise. They are excellent at bringing a great variety of Practitioners from the London Market and high quality presenters to every single forum. They always have a variety of conferences and events to keep all insurance practicioners involved and informed of the latest technology, automation and insurance market trends.

I've been a Practitioner Member since 2020, just before the pandemic started, as it was the first time for all their activities being virtual, kudos to all the LMF team involved in putting it together and making it happen under unprecedented circumstances. Since then Roger and Oscar have consistently increased the quality of all the events they organised creating not just a forum for the insurance market but a safe place for all, practitioners and presenters, to share, discuss and forge strong long lasting relationships.

Thank you so much for such fun-filled events and for playing a big role in connecting our whole market together which is extremely challenging to execute."

“I see LMF as one of our best investments to reaching our target audience in a manner that is engaging and personable. Actually it is not just about me seeing it, the evidence is there to show it is.”

Paul Fondie - Global Industry Principal - Insurance at Mendix.

“I have always found the LMF community a great place to collaborate, network and have fun. It really plays on the strengths of the London Market’s value proposition being around the ‘value of the cluster’, with so many like-minded firms and individuals participating. Roger as the leader is a well-known and well loved figurehead of the community, and he provides a unique focal point and personality to the organisation, making it very easy to engage with. Many thanks for what you’re doing, on both a personal and professional level.”
