The credit hire and insurance sectors are looking to appoint an independent chair as part of ongoing negotiations to refresh the GTA, a set of industry-agreed principles, rules and guidelines that insurers and credit hire companies follow to manage replacement vehicle motor claims.

Commenting jointly on the move, Anthony Hughes, chair and CEO of the Credit Hire Organisation and James Driscoll, senior claims manager at Aviva and chair of the insurer technical committee, said: “Agreement on the nature and scope of this important role has been a key element in our joint discussions during the past few weeks, and we’re pleased to announce that we have now an agreed remit and job role outline for a GTA Chair.

“We are keen to find an experienced individual to support members as the GTA enters a new era and upholds the principle that the GTA remains the most appropriate means of removing friction from credit hire, obviating the need for regulation.”

The GTA has been in place since 1999.
