Amanda Moore and Zoe Mears have joined Beagle Street, part of the OneFamily Group, as strategic development manager and strategic account manager respectively.
Moore (pictured right) joins from Vitality where she was a national account manager, having previously been a protection specialist at AIG Life and before that head of protection partnerships at LifeSearch.
She will lead on Beagle Street’s strategic intermediary partnerships, with the aim of driving growth, unlocking new distribution opportunities and forging long-term relationships with key accounts across the UK.
Mears, meanwhile (pictured left), joins from IPipeline, where she was enterprise strategic partnership manager.
Beagle Street launched into the intermediary protection market in June.
Moore said: “I’m excited to be joining Beagle Street at such a pivotal time.
“The organisation has great ambition for growth within the intermediary market and a genuine commitment to building strong partnerships. I can’t wait to get stuck into our strategic accounts and help more advisers protect more families.”
Mears said: “What draws me to Beagle Street is its focus on listening to advisers and customers and using that insight to make protection more accessible.
“I’m pleased to be joining at a time when there is a real opportunity to bring fresh thinking to protection.
“I look forward to playing a part in developing a proposition that reflects how advisers want to work and how customers want to buy protection today.”
Adam Cubitt, head of distribution sales at Beagle Street, said: “These appointments are an important step in strengthening our proposition for the intermediary market.
“Amanda and Zoe bring valuable experience and, importantly, a strong understanding of what advisers need from a provider.
“By investing in our distribution capability and deepening our relationships with advisers, we can continue to build momentum, broaden our reach and make a real difference to how protection is accessed by more customers.”
