Paymentshield hires two regional sales managers

Paymentshield has appointed two regional sales managers, Jemma Yarnold for the West Midlands and Mark Goodwin for East Anglia.

Yarnold specialised in GI and business development and has previously worked at Personal Touch Financial Services.

Yarnold said: “My role is to ensure customers have access to holistic advice and a GI policy that meets their requirements.

“My passion is GI and I’m delighted to be working with Paymentshield – a company that shares the same passion and beliefs as I do.”

Goodwin has been in financial services for 35 years and has previously been a manager at Prudential and Legal and General.

Mark Goodwin added: “I have been a business development manager predominately working in GI for the last 16 years.

“I am passionate about the sector and I’m delighted to have joined Paymentshield. We have a high profile in the intermediary market and our proposition is very strong, with a product range that combines excellent levels of cover and customer service.

“I’m very much looking forward to helping brokers develop and grow their businesses.”

James Watson, sales director, at Paymentshield, said of the appointments: “At Paymentshield, we understand that being the leading GI provider means giving advisers a complete experience that combines product, price, technology and service, to make it easy for them to offer their clients the most appropriate cover.

“A strong sales team is an important part of this experience and I believe we have the strongest team, both in terms of quality and quantity, that the market has to offer. We welcome Jemma and Mark aboard and look forward to building a successful working relationship together.”

Paymentshield now has 24 field and telephone-based regional sales managers.
