Royal London appoints National Partnerships Director

Andy Peters, who is currently the distribution director at Bright Grey, will start the new role immediately.

The role will have two key responsibilities:

• Leading and co-ordinating sales activity with national IFA networks across Scottish Provident, Bright Grey and Scottish Life.
• Further developing distribution opportunities for Royal London, beyond the current core areas of IFAs and the existing bancassurance relationship with Abbey.

John Deane, chief executive of Royal London's Intermediary Division, said: "This is a very exciting time for Royal London as we continue to develop our business, and I'm delighted to appoint someone of Andy's calibre and experience to this key role. By helping focus the experience and talents we already have across our intermediary businesses, Andy will ensure we realise the very real opportunities we have to increase our presence with national IFA networks and through other channels."

Andy Peters has worked in financial services for 28 years, having been with Bright Grey from its creation and previously at Scottish Provident for 15 years.
