Biba 2013: Day one of BibaFever at Excel Arena
As the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (Biba) conference at the Excel Arena in London kicks off, Insurance Age and Post have teamed up with LV to bring you the definitive online coverage of the event with the video series #BIBAFever.
In this second episode brokers are quizzed on their reactions to the opening speeches from new Biba CEO Steve White and FCA chief executive Martin Wheatley, who famously spoke about shooting first and asking questions later when he was first appointed.
Elsewhere, Post and Insurance Insight reporters Mark Sands and Francesca Nyman went head-to-head with LV and Cat Woman (?) in the cube challenge, whilst the hunt for former Biba CEO Eric Galbraith continues apace across the conference floor with unexpected results.
And remember stay tuned tomorrow for further coverage of the Biba Conference with another episode of #BIBAFever, including Insurance Age senior reporter Andy Pearce's own interesting take on Man Versus Food, with Man Versus Biba.
Until then don't forget to tweet your thoughts of these shows and the event using the #tag #BIBAFever.
