Royal London has appointed Jon Fuller to be its head of specialist protection distribution. Fuller has a 25-year career in the industry and joins from Aegon UK where he was protection sales director.
In this role Fuller will lead the newly created specialist protection team, which have also been recruited from Aegon.
He will also become a member of the distribution leadership team, creating continuity for advisers following the recently announced acquisition of the Aegon UK individual protection business.
The new team will focus on supporting protection and pension advisers to provide specialist support on business protection and complex estate planning requirements, with an increased focus on business consultancy to help advisers meet the new Consumer Duty requirements.
In addition, Royal London has also strengthened the underwriting team by recruiting several of Aegon’s high net worth specialist underwriters who will work in partnership with the specialist protection team to support complex adviser requirements.
They will join the existing specialist large case underwriting team led by Jo Robinson.
