The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has released details of a widespread membership consultation and engagement initiative on its membership offering, including consulting on the relationship the body has with its Personal Finance Society (PFS) arm.

PFS chief executive Keith Richards has said feedback on the PFS 'Futureproof' Financial Planning Conference - held in Birmingham yesterday (Thurs 28 November) has been "absolutely fantastic" and he was delighted with the turnout as nearly 2,000 finance professionals took part.

PFS membership has defied predictions and soared since the Retail Distribution Review to rise by 15,000 to nearly 40,000 - a record total, PFS chief executive Keith Richards has revealed in an exclusive interview with Financial Planning Today.
