President Hamish Hamilton hosted the event at The Village Hotel, Blackpool. In his address he referenced the importance of trust with five fundamental principles: integrity, objectivity, competence, confidentiality and professionalism or, put simply, doing the right thing - the keys to building trustworthy organisations.

Hamish said: “I am proud to come from a region where, hard work, to be the best you can be, and looking after our fellow man is still at the core of its psyche and where social mobility is still promoted.

"If we stick to these principles, I am sure we will create opportunities”.
