The Right Mortgage & Protection Network has added Wiltshire Friendly to its specialist group protection proposition.
Appointed representative (AR) firms can now access the insurer’s range of income protection products, with specific options available for football, rugby and corporate clients.
Wiltshire Friendly offers sports income protection policies for professional and semi-professional footballers, and professional rugby players, it said.
These individual plans are designed to be used when the player’s club’s sick pay ends, by setting the deferred period. The plans pay for a limited benefit period and both offer specific terms relative to the respective sports.
Wiltshire Friendly also offers group income protection policies with short deferred periods, combined with short benefit terms.
It paid 95.04% of all claims in 2022.
Amanda Wilson, director at The Right Mortgage & Protection Network said the firm was excited to have Wiltshire Friendly join its group protection Panel.
“If you have contact with sports clubs, did you know they look for ways to entice players to their clubs but can only pay them so much?” she said.
“A value the club will add is a policy just like those available from Wiltshire Friendly. This gives you access to the whole team and club members.”
Jon Gratland, CEO at Wiltshire Friendly said: “Our aim is to develop income protection products not readily available in the marketplace and to make protection solutions more available to a wider audience who need this valuable cover.
“While we have the products, we need the support of forward-thinking distributors to help us get the message out there and The Right Mortgage has been a pleasure to work with in setting up this new relationship.”
