The British Insurance Brokers’ Association has confirmed that the Financial Conduct Authority will join it later this year when it takes to the road to meet members and discuss regulatory matters with firms. This will be the third year that the regulator has joined BIBA’s regional tour, which is scheduled to visit 11 locations.

Lisa Sturley, head of insurance at the FCA, said: “We really welcome the opportunity to join BIBA’s regional tour again and connect with BIBA members. What we hear from you helps influence and guide future changes to our rules and supervisory approach. I look forward to engaging with as many of you as possible as we share updates on our work and answer any questions you have.”

Graeme Trudgill, CEO of BIBA, said: “The fact that the FCA’s insurance team is joining us again is a testament to the importance they place on the broking sector and you will be able to listen to their update and provide direct feedback to their ongoing work. This is a rare and valuable opportunity for BIBA members to engage with senior regulators on the issues that matter most – this is truly an opportunity not to be missed.”
