British Friendly has become the latest company to join the Protect Association.
Lee Schopp, director of British Friendly said: "We are pleased to join the Protect Association. The industry needs to work together more often in order to progress and we look forward to working with the group."
Since 2010 membership has been open to any companies and individuals in the UK Protection market, and organises events throughout the year for its members.
Steve Devine, chairman of the Protect Association, said: " I am delighted that British Friendly have joined the Protect Association. We always strive to provide events that will add benefit and interest to our members and their guests. Therefore our speaker panels regularly include key stakeholders and influencers in the UK protection markets.
"British Friendly attended our annual dinner event recently as a guest of an existing member and was obviously suitably impressed with our offering.
"The Protect Association's doors are always open for new members and I hope that many other companies and individuals operating in Protection follow British Friendly's example and join us."
