Compliance with Confidence Seminar – Manchester
Join us this autumn in Manchester for our Compliance with Confidence Seminar series, featuring an engaging mix of auditorium-style presentations and interactive breakout sessions led by UKGI compliance and governance specialists.
These sessions go beyond theory by providing practical guidance and inspiring you to challenge your firm’s decision-making, strengthen its compliance culture, and improve customer outcomes—focusing on a “show me,” not just a “tell me” approach.
You’ll also have the chance to choose two breakout sessions where you can engage directly with us on key compliance topics such as:
- Tackling non-financial misconduct
- Complaints handling
- Utilising AI at your firm
- Development Zone / Training and competency for your firm

John will join us at both our London and Manchester seminars to provide a board-level perspective on the governance and oversight challenges facing intermediaries today, and how firms can enhance compliance at every level.
John has over 30 years of insurance and financial services experience across a range of roles. His current portfolio includes acting as an advisor to UKGI Group, as a Non-Executive Director at several Howden companies, and as Chair / SMF 9 at ITC Compliance, a large Appointed Representative network. He is also involved with BIBA and the APCC (Association of Professional Compliance Consultants). Prior to that, he spent 16 years with the FCA / FSA, mainly in General Insurance Supervision.
His last role at the FCA was manager of the Reactive Supervision team, responsible for the supervision of insurers and insurance intermediaries covering a wide range of issues and dealing with the board and senior management at firms to resolve them. He was the external face of the FCA, presenting regulatory priorities, such as governance and culture, SM&CR and pricing through case studies and sharing experiences and best practices around the country through the FCA’s Live & Local sessions.
Prior to joining the regulator John spent 7 years at Willis, initially in Internal Audit and then in front-line broking and consulting roles. He is also a Chartered Accountant, qualifying with what is now PricewaterhouseCoopers and spending 3 years in their Bermuda office in the early 1990s.
These roles and John’s previous regulatory experience give him an excellent insight into the regulatory problems that firms face and enable him to see the issues from different angles.
John will join us at both our London and Manchester seminars to provide a board-level perspective on the governance and oversight challenges facing intermediaries today, and how firms can enhance compliance at every level.
