 Networking is one of the key benefits of IoIC membership with numerous regional events across the UK and Ireland that bring internal communicators together under the IoIC banner. IoIC members work in internal communications and change management, producing intranets, newsletters, newspapers, magazines, videos and other communications tools.
IoIC members' companies include blue chips like Lloyds TSB, Esso, Barclays, Rolls-Royce, BT, AXA, BSkyB, Norwich Union and many more. Full information on every member is available to you on the members-only section of this web site once you join.
