BIBA has confirmed that the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will be travelling around the UK in the autumn to meet members and discuss regulatory issues directly with them.
This will be the third year that Lisa Sturley, Head of Insurance at the FCA, and her team, have joined BIBA’s Tour of the Regions. The tour sees BIBA’s senior team meeting members across the regions to discuss the issues affecting brokers which then influence the BIBA Manifesto.
The tour will visit 11 locations and attracted more than 1,000 attendees last year, with wider knowledge forums hosted in five regions.
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, BIBA’s CEO 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.”
Brokers will also be able to meet and question the BIBA team, hear from other special guests, including sponsors Premium Credit, gain insights into BIBA’s work for brokers and raise their issues.
Owen Thomas, Chief Sales Officer at Premium Credit said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring the 2026 BIBA Tour of the Regions. Listening to and engaging with brokers around the UK is critically important to us all in shaping our propositions for the broker market and our mutual customers. It is great to see the FCA committed once again to attending all the tour dates and is further evidence of the importance of both the tour and the insurance industry as a whole. We look forward to seeing you around the UK later this year!”
Attendance is completely free for BIBA members and qualifies for CII CPD points.
