We are delighted to share with our intermediaries that we have been shortlisted in the Investment Life and Pensions Moneyfacts Awards 2018, for the following categories:

• Best Income Protection provider
• Best Junior ISA provider

We would like to thank our advisers who took time out to vote for us, making it possible for us to make the shortlist.

Our National Distribution Manager, Alex Fallowes, said:

“We are delighted to have been shortlisted for the Best Income Protection provider and Best Junior ISA provider. We feel that the awards are an acknowledgement of the products and service we aim to provide to both our intermediaries and their clients, so I’d like to thank again those who took the time to vote for us”.

The highly coveted awards are presented by the Moneyfacts Group and are totally independent. They are presented annually for product excellence and outstanding service and cover various products from across the range of financial services.

Investment Life & Pensions Awards are based on the feedback from adviser readership and Moneyfacts subscriber base. Advisers are free to nominate and vote for any provider they wish, as opposed to having to choose from a predetermined list.

The next steps will involve the research team at Moneyfacts analysing and thoroughly examining our products, prices and features and those of the other firms who have been shortlisted, to determine a final winner.

The winners will be announced at the awards event which will be held on the 19^th of September, 2018, in London. You can check back with us after then to see how we got on. Wish us luck!
