Hello everyone
It was marvellous to have such a good attendance at TWIN’s meeting last week – thank you all for coming, participating and making the event an undoubted success. It’s hugely encouraging to have such strong support in the prevailing climate.
I’m particularly grateful to those of you who completed the feedback forms – the overwhelming response was very positive.
I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Kind regards,
Helen

A few of the aspects of the meeting members and guests enjoyed most…
Staying Over and having the time to network. The coping with stress talk was brilliant – Garbiela Lozana, Lloyds TSB

The usual lively debates – Cathy Toomey, Kiln
Most enjoyable insurance conference I’ve attended! – Susie Thomas, Scottish Provident
Bill Mitchell’s presentations on “coping with stress in the workplace”. Longevity presentation too – Lorna Wiltshire, Friends Provident
Bill Mitchell’s talk was very interesting, as was FSCS – in fact all very interesting – Louise Okenden, Swiss Re

The two off-piste items were the most interesting for me – I was very interested in Kate’s session about Grant Thornton’s programme – we used to do something similar both at Prudential and at Deloitte but don’t at my current employment. – Sue Williams, Lucida
Most useful. Stimulating – Noreen Siba, ILC-UK
Bill Mitchell’s presentation was excellent. Trevor Matthews excellent presentation – Marion Madden, Kiln
Good day all round. Thanks – Louise Okenden, Swiss Re
Nick Dumbrek’s session was a good overview of the subject of credit crunch, (which received extensive media coverage). Sophie & Kari’s session was informative and touched on a subject that will be of increasing significance in years to come. – Stav O’Doherty, Perfect Health
The other one that was most interesting was about coping with stress in and outside of the workplace. For interest, a couple of positive outcomes as a result of these two sessions – one I made time for my shoe shopping and also went swimming on Saturday for the first time in a few months. The second is that I have gone onto Kiva and sponsored two women. – Sue Williams, Lucida
