Adam Lawrence, business development manager at first4cover, said: “We were delighted to support Pink at its seminars and feedback following the launch of our proposition through Pink, has enabled us to make improvements to our products and systems, enabling us to exceed expectations.”

Ian Halley, head of business partnerships at Paymentshield, added: “Paymentshield and Pink have been working together for a number of years and we value the opportunity that working closely with Pink gives us to provide training and ongoing support for brokers.

Kevin Paterson, group marketing director at Enterprise Group, said: “This is a natural addition as brokers should be offering a property rounded service, including mortgage and income protection as well as GI on building and contents. The biggest problem I’ve had as a distributor is finding a lender who offers all these products.”
