Insurance Brokers Standards Council launched
New broker body will not accept funding from outside the broking community but is keen to work with Biba and the CII.
A new broker body has been launched in a bid to raise standards of behaviour and practice in the profession, Insurance Age can reveal.
The Insurance Brokers Standards Council (IBSC) claims that the industry is in need of a code of conduct.
And it can be confirmed that the organisation will be chaired by Paul Anscombe of James Hallam, while the steering committee will include Alec Finch, Steve Burrows of Cobra, Andrew Scott of Aston Scott and Steve Bamforth of Griffiths & Armour.
