Jane Curtis, President of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries said: “I am very pleased to see David elected to this position. His experience, both in his professional capacity and as a tireless volunteer have already made him a valuable asset to our Profession. This, along with his enthusiasm and ever-present good humour will make him a first class ambassador for the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.”
Philip Scott, current President-elect said: “With the election of David as President-elect, we now have the full presidential team in place for my term of office as President. I am looking forward to working with David and am delighted to see a candidate of his calibre stepping forward to lead our Profession.”
David Hare said: “I qualified in 1988, never dreaming that 25 years later, I would be leading our Profession. I am honoured to have been elected and look forward to working alongside Philip and Jane as we continue to build a profession that is fit for the needs and aspirations of our members.”
