“I’ve been part of the London Market Forums (LMF) community for many years, and it has truly been an invaluable pillar of support in my career. From engaging in LMF’s practitioner-led roundtables, to attending high-calibre sessions and social events, I’ve witnessed first-hand how LMF fosters open, ... insightful discussions on market initiatives, future challenges, and emerging trends.

I wholeheartedly encourage both newcomers and seasoned veterans to join LMF’s sessions and vibrant social events—thanks to their dedication, calibre, and creativity, they are truly an exceptional platform for professional growth in the London Market.”

"I've known Roger for over five years now, and not only is he a valued practitioner in the market, but also a friend. His passion for the London market is evident in everything he does; from his professionalism, commitment to progress, and desire to see the market continue to be the best it can be. ... I've always enjoyed attending LMF events; they’re well organised, full of insightful discussion, and a great space to connect with others who care deeply about the future of our industry. Not to mention really good fun."

"When the LMF was formed it was a unique organisation in the insurance market at the time, principally because it didn't belong to any one trade association, oversight body or vendor. So it allowed for experienced (and new to market) practitioners to come together on a regular basis and share their ... collective 'war stories,' always in an unbiased, non-judgemental, safe but frank talking environment. The debates were always thought provoking and honest but most of all; fun and engaging and always inclusive from the start. The vendors always put on a good show when asked to drive the sessions and it was always great to see friends and colleagues from across the market's change community. And this really goes to the heart of the group and its success - its founder Roger who's always brought that energy, enthusiasm and humour to each event he's hosted. Its really down to him that the LMF has been so successful, for so long. Hopefully that continues for a time to come too!"
