Two employees at The Insurance Partnership Financial Services Ltd (TIPFS) have obtained Fellowship of The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).
Karen Spark and James Blake have both received FCII status from one of the main awarding bodies in the financial services industry.
Karen Spark, Compliance Manager at TIPFS says:
“I began my career in banking in 1978 and moved into financial services in 1996, having worked in compliance roles as Operations Director and Group Compliance Director. I recently joined TIPFS whilst studying for Fellowship which is the highest qualification with the CII.”
“I wanted to study as it gives me practical knowledge and skills that are essential for my role, which involves supervising financial advisers, it allows me to give them technical guidance.”
“It also demonstrates our commitment to the highest possible advice standards and the ethical practices. On a personal level it provides a sense of great satisfaction to have achieved this for myself.”
James Blake, Chartered Financial Planner says:
“My studies began when I set out as a financial adviser in 1997 and I have continued with professional development within the financial services sector. I am delighted to have been awarded the Fellowship, along with Karen.”
“We have many really good and experienced advisers at TIPFS who act on behalf of thousands of local people, advising on all aspects of finance. One of the benefits of this qualification can help to build trust amongst our wider professional networks of accountants and solicitors who themselves fully understand the importance of their own professional exams. Overall, this is a great achievement for me personally.”
Paul Newman, director of TIPFS says:
“I would like to congratulate Karen and James who have worked hard on their studies whilst working full-time, which is no mean feat. Gaining the Fellowship represents their commitment to excellence in the financial services sector and reflects our aspirations as a company by raising the standard of professionalism and qualification level within the business, which will maintain our position as the leading financial services provider in the region.”
