MOJ keynote to open CIVEA conference

The Civil Enforcement Association (CIVEA), which represents all the major civil enforcement agencies along with a number of independents, is to host a conference on Thursday, 19th September at Banking Hall, Cornhill, London.

The one-day event will include a conference and exhibition and will be free to delegates drawn primarily from local authorities. A capacity audience of around 200 is confidently anticipated, with the sector facing renewed challenges in the post-Brexit vote economy.

Russell Hamblin-Boone, CEO at CIVEA, said “Following the Ministry of Justice’s recent call for evidence, this year’s conference will discuss the findings of the report. This will include the treatment of debtors, the complaints processes and whether further regulation is needed as well as exploring the challenges of adjusting to new expectations and the responsibility on local authorities.”

The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) will give the keynote address and speakers from National Government, Local Government, regulatory bodies and professional institutes will analyse and evaluate both the content and implication of any changes to the regulations. In addition, expert panel sessions will be held throughout the day to discuss topics relating to data & technology, vulnerability & debt advice as well as the impact of regulation.

The headquarters of Lloyd’s Bank until 2002, Banking Hall is a striking Grade II listed building and is the perfect venue to host the event, which will include lunch and access to the exhibition, expected to provide further attraction for both delegates and commercial participation, with exhibition stands and sponsorships on offer.

Hamblin-Boone continued “Our members, our local authority guests and our supplier community share a common interest in attending this vital networking and sector event. CIVEA represents a community of specialists whose work is vital to the work of revenues and benefits managers and no other sector event will deliver such an opportunity to learn about and discuss the key issues which will affect the industry over the next decade.”
