Paradigm Protect has added Cirencester Friendly’s range of income protection (IP) products to its panel.
Member firms can now access the mutual’s individual IP products including My Earnings Protected and Income Assured Enhanced and a range of additional benefits providing clients with extra support such as fracture and hospitalisation benefit and immediate death benefit.
Mike Allison, head of protection at Paradigm, (pictured) said: “Cirencester Friendly are fully immersed in the income protection market so we are very pleased to be able to add them to the Paradigm Protect panel and to have its products easily accessible to our member firms.
“Having the protection conversation with clients is perhaps more important than ever, with the economic headwinds growing stronger, and a greater degree of uncertainty about what happens next.”
Susie Beard-Moore, head of intermediary sales at Cirencester Friendly, added that the mutual was delighted to have completed the distribution agreement.
“It is our mission to reach as many people as possible to give them the protection they need in these uncertain times, working with partners who share our values,“ she said.
“We look forward to forging a successful partnership that offers people access to the security and certainty they need now more than ever.”
