clock

Royal London has joined Sesame Bankhall's restricted advice panel to provide personal and business protection through Bright Grey, and pensions and retirement products through Scottish Life.

Jim Smith, distribution director at Royal London Intermediary Division, said Bright Grey's standing in the protection market was a "deciding factor" in bringing the brand onto the panel.

George Higginson, chief executive of Sesame Bankhall Group, said the network's developing technology-based approach was gaining traction and the addition of Royal London further supported its expansion plans.

Royal London joins Aegon, Aviva, Friends Life, LV=, Partnership, Prudential, PruProtect and Zurich, as part of the network's RDR-ready proposition for advisers.
