“Cirencester Friendly is 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,” Mike Allison (pictured), head of protection at Paradigm, commented.

“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.

“Clients want to feel they have quality protection policies to draw upon should they need them, and working with Cirencester Friendly offers exactly this reassurance, providing advisers with more options to offer individuals the protection they need.”

Susie Beard-Moore, head of intermediary sales at Cirencester Friendly, said the new partnership with Paradigm achieves their objective of reaching as many people as possible to give them the protection they need in uncertain times.

“I am delighted that our comprehensive income protection products are being added to the Paradigm Protect panel,” she added. “We look forward to forging a successful partnership that offers people access to the security and certainty they need now more than ever.”
