Public Affairs
Financial Services
Working at the sharp end of this continually evolving and highly political sector, Consolidated's financial services specialists work with banks, insurers, pensions providers, brokers and trade associations to help them shape financial services policy across the sector.
In one of the UK's most highly regulated industries, we provide our clients with full public affairs and issues management support. We also work closely with Consolidated's personal finance PR team, bringing a political edge to their consumer and corporate PR work.
Be it defending the rights of insurers to differentiate products for men and women when the Gender Directive hit the agenda in Brussels; influencing policy in the challenge to find a sustainable solution to the pensions crisis; or lobbying for the requirement for continuous motor insurance to reach the statute book, we have supported our clients every step of the way.
Writing submissions to Government consultations and select committee inquiries, organising stakeholder contact programmes and keeping tabs on the numerous industry groups in this growing sector, we make sure that our clients know what's going on and, in responding, punch above their weight. And because they do, we assist them in getting in front of Ministers, stakeholders and MPs, where they present the arguments we help them to formulate.
We also currently produce A week in politics for the financial services industry. This bulletin succinctly digests all the political and regulatory announcements of the week in each of the key areas - pensions, mortgages, banking, investment, insurance, financial inclusion, appointments and more. If you would like to receive this, please get in touch or download a recent copy from our News section.
All in all, we're firmly on top of all the dealings in this complex environment. If you would like us to get to grips with your issues, just let us know.
