Biba and the CII moved closer together today with the announcement of further joint initiatives on training and competence.

CII director general Sandy Scott told delegates that Biba and the CII were "looking to co-operate on key issues" and would work together for the "benefit of the profession."

Scott said that the CII would be unveiling a job competency framework for brokers and a CPD scheme for brokers. It would also be providing guidance on managing conflict of interest, he said.

Biba chief executive Eric Galbraith emphasised the importance of collaboration.

"We must invest in our future reputation. We must be attractive to the right people by developing the right image. We must act together."

He added: "The industry needs a strong unified voice when talking to government and stakeholders."
