As announced during the Annual General Meeting of the IFP held on 3 October at Celtic Manor resort, the IFP has welcomed two new CFP^CM professionals to its board of directors.

During August and September, IFP members were asked to cast their votes on which members were to represent them as IFP board directors.

Rebecca Taylor FIFP, CFP^CM and Neil Bailey FIFP, CFP^CM were existing members of the IFP Board and under the terms of the memorandum and articles of association, had put themselves up for re-election. Both Neil and Rebecca have been re-elected.

Also elected to serve are Andrew Brook- Dobson CFP^CM who is currently Leeds branch chairman, and Simon Boulter CFP^CM, formerly a chairman of South West branch.

Nick Cann, chief executive of the IFP, said: “While big thanks go to departing members Barry Horner CFP^CM and Keri Carter CFP^CM for their significant contributions to the IFP, I welcome these new board members. These are exciting times for the IFP and the input of all four into our strategic direction will undoubtedly be invaluable.”
