The British Insurance Brokers’ Association has published its manifesto for 2025, entitled ‘Partnering to deliver value’. It highlights the importance of collaboration to address the challenges faced by brokers and their clients and to achieve the government’s growth mission.

Graeme Trudgill (pictured), chief executive of BIBA, said: “We have a golden opportunity with the Secondary International Competitiveness and Growth Objective (SICGO) on the regulator to align with the Government’s focus on growth. Improvements to the regulatory architecture can reduce the burden on firms and achieve a regulatory approach that supports growth.

“We know that our issues and the importance of insurance brokers have been recognised by Government with financial services being one of the eight priorities in its new industrial strategy. We have enjoyed an extensive collaborative approach with the regulator during the last year and there is an opportunity to achieve positive outcomes.

“Partnership both within and outside of the industry is key to this year’s Manifesto in helping us achieve improved outcomes on the issues raised for everyone. The value that brokers provide to clients is so important and this is recognised through the amount of support we’ve received for what we’re doing. We’ve really plugged in with the decision makers on these issues; you can see the senior level of support throughout the Manifesto.”
