CII to relocate its global HQ later this year

The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has announced that it will relocate its global HQ and London base later this year.

The organisation is currently based in 20 Fenchurch Street,  also known as the Walkie Talkie. However, as the five-year lease comes to an end in February, the association has decided to move to 30 Old Broad Street.

It will officially move into the new office on 2 March.

“The new office will offer a modern, vibrant environment designed to inspire collaboration among colleagues, while also creating a welcoming space for members to drop in, meet and make use of facilities with ease,” the CII said.

Key priority 

The institute previously inhabited Insurance Hall, Aldermanbury, from 1934 to 2018, before moving to 21 Lombard Street and then 20 Fenchurch Street in 2021. 

Remaining in London was a key priority for the CII, ensuring proximity to the Lloyd’s building and many of its members’ headquarters.

Matthew Hill, chief executive at the CII, said: “We are delighted to be moving to a newly renovated office in the City that captures the energy, excitement and future-focused nature of the CII.

”The Walkie Talkie building has served us well for five years, but we were keen to see what more we could offer our colleagues and members. We’re excited to be moving to a building that will give us more space, more flexibility and better value for money. I am also expecting it to provide us with an opportunity to honour the memory of Brian Caruth, whose exceptional service and dedication to our professions will never be forgotten.”
