What Airmic does

Airmic is a UK-based professional trade association serving individuals and organisations with responsibility for risk management and insurance. Founded in 1963 and registered as Airmic Limited (company number 01345758), it operates from a registered office at Marlow House, 1a Lloyd's Avenue, London EC3N 3AA. Its primary constituency is corporate risk managers, insurance buyers, and risk management professionals, with a secondary audience of board directors and executives responsible for risk governance. The association is governed by an elected board drawn from senior risk practitioners at major UK and multinational organisations including Synthomer, Jaguar Land Rover, London Stock Exchange Group, British American Tobacco, Croda, Compass, Coca-Cola Europacific, and Control Risks.

Airmic's core products and services are organised around membership subscriptions and include a Technical Library of research reports and benchmarking documents, the Risk Management Fundamentals (RMF) training course, on-demand webinars, Airmic Talks multimedia content, a Mentoring Scheme, Special Interest Groups organised by sector, a Captives Hub, and the Airmic Competency Framework. Flagship events include the three-day Annual Conference in Birmingham and the Guernsey Conference held in partnership with Guernsey Finance. The association does not operate proprietary technology platforms; the 'platform' is effectively the member portal at my.airmic.com, the technical publication library, and the events programme. Recurring thought-leadership outputs include the Airmic Survey, the Risk Technology Report, the Captives Survey, and topic-driven reports on flood resilience, fraud, and organisational resilience, frequently co-produced with partners such as the IUA, KPMG, Riskonnect, Redhand Advisors, Control Risks, and BCI.

Revenue is generated through annual membership subscriptions, training and event fees, and partner-supported research initiatives; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is administered through the member portal. Airmic operates as a private limited company with no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed venture or private equity backing. Governance is member-driven through the elected board, with CEO Diane Maxwell leading executive operations. The association markets primarily through its website, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and the Airmic News newsletter, and serves members primarily in the UK with selected European reach via the Guernsey Conference and international partner collaborations.
