Join us for an update on all matters GI…

We’ve had Consumer Duty for over two years now and the FCA continue to publish updates to incl insurer claims handling, motor insurance premium hikes and the new rules we expect towards the end of 2025.

We shall explore where we are with Consumer Duty and the session will also provide and update on fair value assessments to include what makes up broker commissions and how to ensure broker costs are fully understood. There will be a key update on where we are with premium finance following the seismic Hopcraft Supreme Court judgment and what this means for our sector and whether commissions should be disclosed and consent sought from clients.

"Clear learning outcomes which were met. Good examples provided. Branko has a wealth of current knowledge which he delivers in a relatable manner and at an appropriate level. I always look out for webinars presented by Branko."

"Excellent presentation, once again from Branko. Albeit insurance is his forte, he could give a presentation on any subject - cakes, cars, nightclubs, etc, and still make it interesting and informative."

"Branko's session was entertaining, factual and honest. It was a topical talk that delivered a very real world and customer focused view which I don't think we typically get from presenters. He made me think about the issues that are important to customers and not just the bottom line."
