Cirencester friendly targets growth with Intrinsic move

clock • 1 min read

Cirencester friendly's income protection (IP) product has been added to Intrinsic's protection panel.

The holloway provider's contract is now available to all CF30 certified advisers using the network.

Paul Hudson, chief executive of Cirencester friendly, was pleased with the move and is targeting further growth for the mutual society.

"At a time when we are seeing huge cuts to public spending and a shift in the way the benefits system is being approached, income protection couldn't be more important," he said.

"This climate provides a unique opportunity for providers and IFAs to work together and ensure that the UK workforce is well protected from the financial damage illness or accidental injury can cause.

"As a mutual organisation we have a duty to maintain and grow the business owned by our members, and working with Intrinsic and other IFA networks increases our potential to achieve this growth.

"With the imminent arrival of RDR and the potential loss of many experienced IFAs it is important for us as a business to continue to ensure the support of those who will remain in the industry," he added.
