clock • 1 min read

The British Insurance Brokers' Association (BIBA) will focus on 'proportionate and cost effective regulation' for members its 2012 manifesto has said.

The association also aims to work with Government, businesses, regulators and consumers to support growth.

The 2012 Manifesto will be distributed to all political stakeholders 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.

It highlights four overarching campaigning themes: Empowering UK consumers, businesses, the insurance sector and the UK to trade worldwide.

Chief Executive, Eric Galbraith, comments: "Producing an annual Manifesto has proved highly effective for us in recent years. It allows us to get across quickly and concisely what we are seeking to achieve and what we believe in - it also shows the importance of brokers to the UK economy."

Graeme Trudgill, BIBA Head of Corporate Affairs, added: "Growth is a big focus for the government, and in our Manifesto we have outlined how our sector can support this aim while achieving necessary change to improve the business environment for both members and customers.

"The Manifesto will provide us with opportunities to engage relevant stakeholders and ensure that we are at the heart of representing brokers."

The Manifesto can be downloaded here.
