Okell commented:

“I have always valued the open and robust discussion of consumer issues in meetings of TISA’s CEPC, and I am delighted to be working with Nicola in leading the group in its efforts. I am particularly pleased that the group remains focussed on improving outcomes, and that I have been able to play a part in providing solutions that have benefitted consumers.”

North added:

“I am very pleased to be taking the Chair of the council at such a key time in the progress of its work. The group has always been focussed on delivering tangible benefits for UK consumers and it has been a pleasure to work with committed people from across the industry.  Consumer access to meaningful financial guidance, supporting vulnerable people and the need to re-establishing a culture of savings are themes close to my heart and I look forward to helping the council to achieve further successes.”

Altus has been a strong supporter of TISA’s work to enhance consumer experiences when dealing with financial services and developed the Vulnerability Radar to promote good working practices amongst the industry.
