As an ELTO Board member, Trudgill will oversee the delivery of a service which helps those who have suffered injury or disease in the workplace to identify the relevant insurer. The ELTO database contains over 25 million policy records and receives 100,000 enquiries every year from members of the public and solicitors representing claimants.

As Executive Director at BIBA, Trudgill is responsible for defining the BIBA’s policy positions as well as overseeing technical, public affairs and communications.

Commenting on his appointment, Trudgill said: “ELTO provides a vital service to members of the public when they need help the most. 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.”

Steve Browne, Chairman of ELTO, said: “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.”
