Chief Executive’s Report to the 2015/16 AGM
The Area Councils have organised a varied and well attended events programme during 2015/16. Over 75 events were held throughout the UK and Ireland including leading industry speakers, driving simulators, depot visits, company visits and social events.
The Institution continues to promote these events under the ‘behind the scenes access’ banner and as a key benefit of membership. Area events cards and Area booklets have been continued to be shared in an effort to raise the profile of the Areas.
During 2015/16, there have been no changes to Area Council Chairs:
• SouthEastArea:GlenMerryman

In this case, it has been achieved mainly by running vacancies in the core team and a reduction in team expensesresultingina£35,000saving.
The remaining profit was created from savings noted during the year in the monthly accounts. For example £5,000onIROstaffundertakingwebsitework,£3,000on photography and member engagement activities we didnotrun(circa£4,700).WhilstLearningProductsreturned little of its forecast income during the year this was compensated for in part by the commensurate saving intheoutlayoftheservicesitrequires(e.g.trainerdayfeesetc.)
