He will join the Group on the 3rd March 2014.
Royal London group chief executive Phil Loney says: “During his tenure as CEO Intermediary, Hugh has laid important foundations for the future of our Group through his work to bring the intermediary businesses together. I am sure that you will join me in wishing Hugh well for the next stage of his career.
“I am delighted to announce Isobel’s appointment to this crucial role. She has been a key member of the executive team responsible for Scottish Life’s current market-leading position in the field of pensions with a consistent award winning record for both product and service. She will provide strong leadership to our intermediary business at a critical time in its development”.
Langton says: “I am excited by the opportunities in the intermediated market right now and about taking Scottish Life, Scottish Provident and Bright Grey into the new Royal London brand in coming months.
“Royal London is committed to the intermediary market and will be a powerful force in providing propositions that support advisors in their recommendations and address the challenges of the protection and retirement markets for our mutual customers.”
