“I am delighted to be taking on this role. TISA has an important role to play in delivering effective policies, products and services to savers in the UK as it has a distinct perspective to both trade associations and consumer groups. Our membership, drawn from right across financial services, provides an ideal platform from which to tackle the important challenges that the industry and its customers face.”

Notes for Editors
TISA is a not-for-profit membership association operating within the financial services industry. We represent the interests of over 147 member firms involved in the supply and distribution of savings and investment products and services.
TISA has a highly successful track record in working cooperatively with government, regulators, HMT, DWP and HMRC to improve the performance of the industry and the outcomes for consumers. Policy and regulation continues to be the major focus for our members with regard to corporate responsibility.
TISA and its members’ remit is evolving into a clearer focus on pro-active consultation in the regulatory world in order to influence policy and associated regulation before its creation, rather than reacting to issued policy directives. This will help to ensure a more considered policy creation from the authorities.
