We’re pleased to announce that we have added two new members to our expanding Shepherds Friendly Business Development team. The Society has worked closely with intermediaries over many years and these new appointments are further evidence of our commitment to expanding and enhancing the support we provide to help and grow intermediary businesses as rapidly and efficiently as possible.

The two new members are Charlotte Fowler and Kate Whelan. Charlotte joins Shepherds Friendly from a commercial insurance broker organisation and her expertise in the fields of Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurance will prove particularly of value to intermediaries looking to promote our highly successful Income Protection plans.

Kate joins the Society’s team from a role as Intermediary Account Manager for a leading UK insurance group and is looking to further demonstrate her skills in developing successful and lasting relationships with both existing intermediaries and those new to Shepherds Friendly.

Antony Uttley, head of distribution, commented:

“We’re pleased to welcome both Charlotte and Kate to the Society. Their addition to the Business Development team will contribute significantly to the number of intermediaries we work with and help us to deliver our mutual advantage promise to each and every adviser submitting business through us.”

The new recruits have already expressed how impressed they are by the Society’s real commitment to supporting intermediaries and, in particular, how this is demonstrated through our programme known as “Mutual Advantage”.

The programme has evolved through our many years’ experience of working with the intermediary market and brings together several services expressly tailored to meet the changing needs of the sector.

So, we’d like to say welcome to the two new members of our Business Development team and we’re confident that you’ll find them as just as helpful and supportive as the rest of the Shepherds Friendly team who are out and about working with intermediaries around the country.
