During INSOL Europe’s AGM at the Annual Congress in Istanbul (October 2014), Catherine Ottaway (INSOL Europe’s President at the time) announced the decision to create a new forum focused on insolvency office holders – the “Insolvency Office Holders Forum”.
 
The Council of INSOL Europe has seen a growing interest from the association’s members to reflect and react on current issues and challenges facing the profession of insolvency officeholders throughout Europe. Three practising officeholders have agreed to co-chair the forum in the first instance and support and steer the forum though its initial stages; Stephen Harris (Ernst & Young, UK), Marc André (France) and Daniel F. Fritz (hww hermann wienberg wilhelm, Germany). The co-chairs, together with the executive of INSOL Europe, will now evaluate how best to meet interests, needs and expectations in an appropriate way and come up with suggestions. Be sure to read more about this initiative soon!
 
Members having suggestions concerning matters worthy of debate or pursuit within the IOH Forum should kindly send a note via Caroline Taylor. The co-chairs would be more than happy to see a high level of participation from members throughout the many jurisdictions encompassed within the membership of INSOL Europe.
 
Stephen Harris, on behalf of the co-chairs of the IOH Forum
