BIBA 2010 manifesto focuses on changing political and regulatory horizons and signposting

0 0

The British Insurance Brokers’ Association has launched its 2010 manifesto outlining its priority lobbying issues for the year ahead.

BIBA’s key focus will be on the changing environment that brokers operate within, particularly the potential change of Government and regulation structure that a new Government may implement.

The manifesto highlights five key lobbying themes: suitable insurance protection, driving change, regulation and consumer protection, and the UK and Europe.

Eric Galbraith, BIBA Chief Executive, said: “The big challenges for 2010 are the changing political and regulatory landscapes and developments in Europe. We will be strongly representing our members in these areas along with the urgent IPT issue.  I am sure that the manifesto will provide us with a number of opportunities to engage relevant stakeholders and ensure that we are at the heart of representing brokers.”

Graeme Trudgill, BIBA Technical and Corporate Affairs Executive, added: “The manifesto is our most challenging yet, it sets our lobbying agenda for the year ahead. It will also enable us to promote the benefits of brokers and the important issue of signposting business to brokers, helping customers and members. I am delighted by the feedback that we received from members whilst collating the manifesto and we are now looking forward to moving these issues forward.”

The 2010 manifesto is the third manifesto produced by BIBA and will be distributed to all political stakeholders who are influential on the issues affecting insurance brokers.  It will be used to outline BIBA’s lobbying position to protect and promote BIBA’s members on the key issues affecting them.

The 2010 manifesto was formed following consultation with BIBA members and BIBA committees to ensure that BIBA is representing its members on the issues most important to them.
