Annual Report 2022
THE 153rd ANNUAL CONFERENCE (previously AGM)
of the
ASSOCIATION OF AVERAGE ADJUSTERS held at: Lloyd’s Old Library One Lime Street London EC3M 7HA on Thursday, 12th May, 2022 In the Chair: Mr Michiel Starmans
THE SECRETARY: Good morning to everyone. It is lovely to see so many faces here again. For those of you who do not know me, I am Ann Waite, the Secretary of the Association. Welcome to our AGM or Annual Conference, as it is called now. Sorry, old habits die hard. Could I ask everyone to put your phones on mute or make sure they are turned off; the usual housekeeping. At least we are not asking you to unmute your Zoom calls today. It really only remains for me to introduce our Chairman, Michiel Starmans. THE CHAIRMAN: Good morning and welcome to the 153rd Annual Conference. It has been such a long time since we have seen each other, some two years, and we are all fed up with virtual meetings, so it is good that the Old Library is still here and that so many of you could come. Unfortunately, some countries still have Covid restrictions but, hopefully, we will see them all next year.

First of all, I would like to say hello to our very distinguished guests who are listed here and who I had the pleasure of having a meal with yesterday in a lovely place in Chelsea, in the Manicomio restaurant. We understood that means “Restaurant of Fools”, so I think it was the right place to be there, and it is good to see that my guests could attend from the US, Argentina and Continental Europe. As I said yesterday, we had a private dinner with 14 people and seven nationalities, so it is not just an English Association of Average Adjusters, it is a true worldwide Association. We now turn to the annual report with what happened last year.
