British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) executive director Graeme Trudgill (pictured) is now a member of the Employers’ Liability Tracing Office (ELTO) board.
“ELTO provides a vital service to members of the public when they need help the most,” said Trudgill. “Having been involved in ELTO from its inception – sitting on its first advisory board on time to supply and helping to develop a guide for brokers – I am delighted to be joining the board.
“I am keen to further strengthen the link between ELTO and the broking community, and to ensure we continue to deliver a service which helps claimants trace their insurer seamlessly.”
With a database of over 25 million policy records, ELTO helps those who have suffered injury or disease in the workplace to identify the relevant insurer. Every year it receives 100,000 enquiries from members of the public and solicitors representing claimants.
Commenting on the board appointment, ELTO chair Steve Browne noted: “Graeme brings a wealth of industry knowledge to the ELTO board. With significant upgrades in the pipeline for ELTO, it is imperative that the board continues to strive to improve the capability of ELTO for the benefit of all users of the service.”
