Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend The ABI to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to The ABI
I would advise to research the organisation as much as possible before, during and after the application process as it can be tricky to understand what role the ABI has in insurance if you are not familiar with the industry.
