BIBA 2023

BIBA 2023 Manchester Central

As a proud member of The British Insurance Brokers Association for over 40 years, and now as a board member, I can say without any hesitation that the BIBA conference in May each year, bringing brokers and insurers together in one place for three days, is one of the best and most productive weeks of the year.

This year the theme is “Rising to the Challenge” The BIBA Conference 2023 | The British Insurance Brokers’ Association

If you have annual arrangements you wish to arrange or renew, doing it at the BIBA conference each year is probably the most effective way. The range of providers present and more importantly decision makers, all in one place make for an excellent conference.

Add to that the line up of keynote speakers and sessions each year, bring everyone up to date with what’s new and emerging as well as all the legal and regulatory matters that will affect our businesses going forward over the next 3 – 5 years. If you are an insurance professional #biba2023 is the place to be.

It’s also nice to be in the middle of something which has been in planning for the last 12 months, leading directly from the manifesto which is published in January each year. In 2023 we are #managingrisk & #deliveryingstability.

Looking forward to meeting friends old and new and securing services that will directly benefit our clients going forward.

Have a great week, I know I will.

 

 

 

Trust in each other

TRUST is all you need.

There’s a difference in spending money on what you WANT and what you NEED.

As human beings we tend to trust our own instincts and most of the time we are right, and that works for us, because we know what we want or need.

If it’s something you WANT, you will generally trust a brand and then buy from a reputable dealer.

If it’s something you NEED you will do research, but go back to trusting your own instincts, in the final decision, even if it’s a highly technical product or service and that can lead to understandable human errors.

So why not just talk to people who you already know, like and trust. Family and friends can be great sources of information, especially your more senior relatives, as are other professionals you already trust.

Don’t make an uninformed decision on personal research, ask someone you trust who would they use, its that simple.

I’d like to think anyone wo knows me would say I’m someone you could trust. I will do what I say I will do and stick to it. Technically proficient, qualified and experienced. You don’t have to believe me just ask anyone who knows me and see what they say.

Today I’m sorting solutions for a Mortgage Broker, a Food Manufacturer, a Wholesale Warehouse and a Commercial Photographer, all long standing clients who trust me to do what I say I will do:

The correct solution and the lowest price

Have a great day
