Jim Dart, Director of Compliance at the RWA Group 'Common issues arising from FSA monitoring visits' The RWA Group looks after the compliance arrangements of over 200 small to medium sized broking firms, so Jim Dart is well placed to advise on current FSA attitudes and feedback on issues that may arise in the event of an FSA "arrow" visit. This is a rare opportunity for brokers in our area to hear what is going on in compliance ‘from the horse’s mouth’. It is essential that you register your interest early, by email to Neil Sinclair: sinclan@norwich-union.co.uk . Arrive at 12.15 for a 12.45 start with the usual free buffet lunch.

Tony Martin, BDML New Business Director: 'Insurance Aggregators - Fad or Here to Stay?' With some brokers now processing over one million quotes a month online, it is clear that comparison technologies have the power to be disruptive to the broker market. Attendees to this special morning briefing, inclusive of a delicious free breakfast, should register asap by email to Sarah Woolrich: sarah.woolrich@bdml.co.uk
Arrive 8.30am for a 9am start, click here for a map.
