PruProtect steals Commonwealth Games athlete

Stone competed at the pinnacle of sport for over a decade which began in the 1980’s, representing Team GB and England at the World and Commonwealth Games (where he twice came 4th).

For the last 20 years Stone has been at Legal & General, responsible most recently for L&G Gulf’s sales, marketing and expansion plans.

His position with PruProtect is a newly created post, focusing on the growing number of intermediary firms who want to commit to the firm’s proposition on a single tie basis.

Phil Jeynes, head of account development and public relations, said: “We’re seeing a surge in applications from firms wanting to sell PruProtect products exclusively. This is due to our unique range of Protection products and our healthy living programme, Vitality, which allows intermediaries to offer rewards and incentives to their clients. We want to develop our single tie proposition and engage with more brokers in this way.”

Darrell Stone added: “PruProtect are the most exciting and innovative provider in the Protection market and I am thrilled to be joining to help their continued expansion and evolution.”
