Today, the PDG announced the addition of Reframe Cancer and Space to its existing eight sponsors: CIExpert, iPipeline, Iress, NMG Consulting, UnderwriteMe, Protection Guru, Square Health, and Teladoc Health UK.
These sponsors work with the PDG to further improve customer outcomes through initiatives looking at market developments, adviser education, consumer awareness, and access to insurance.
“At Reframe Cancer, we’re excited to work with the PDG. Their dedication to raising industry standards and collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission. We look forward to working alongside the PDG and its members to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by cancer,” said Mark Stephenson, CEO of Reframe Cancer.
“A perfect partner as we both strive to work with distributors and providers to educate and increase awareness across the UK. We’re delighted to have the opportunity to sponsor the PDG,” agreed Marilyn Cole, Client Partner at Space.
Neil McCarthy, Chair of the PDG, added: “We’re pleased to have Reframe Cancer and Space join us as sponsors, as they provide unique services in the protection market and will add value to our members and activities alongside our existing sponsors.
“The insight and practical support we get from all our sponsors is invaluable in helping the PDG to grow the protection market and develop initiatives that will positively impact consumers purchasing and using protection products.”
