John Bissell will be retiring from his role as COO and CII Board member in early April 2023 after more than six years with the organisation. Over this period, he has also been director of CII Hong Kong, CII Middle East, CII Enterprises and Trustee of CII’s Prize Fund. After a short break John intends to extend his NED and Trustee portfolio.
Alan Vallance, CII Group CEO, said: “I would like to thank John for supporting me over my first six months in post. He is a respected, long-standing servant of the CII and we wish him well for the future.”
Plans are currently being developed to cover Mr Bissell’s responsibilities both in the short- and longer-term.
