The Santé Group has promoted Tony Ford to the board of its life insurance business, Santé Life.
Ford (pictured) started with Nugent Santé as a consultant in 2014 before moving into Santé Life in 2020 and now receives an equity stake in the life insurance business.
Following his career in playing and coaching football, Ford began a career in the financial services sector, and now has 18 years experience with Chase Templeton and more recently Santé Life.
Santé Life sits within the wider Santé Group, which includes specialist health insurance and wellbeing business Nugent Santé, broker support business ArchAngel and private medical insurance broker network, Santé Partners.
Commenting on Ford’s appointment, Santé Group chief executive Paul Nugent said: “I’ve known Tony from working together at Chase Templeton and was always impressed by his professionalism.
“Since joining us in 2014, Tony has contributed significantly to Santé Life’s growth while also mentoring and developing younger members of our team. He’ll play an essential role in developing the Santé Group of businesses as we look to expand our footprint in the North before growing the company nationally.
“He’ll also be responsible for guaranteeing a quality service while working with directors from the wider Santé Group in helping develop and communicating our competitive edge.”
