Beagle Street continues intermediary push with BDM hire

Published on

The OneFamily Group has appointed Hanna McKallip as business development manager for its Beagle Street brand, as it looks to expand its presence in the intermediary market.

McKallip, an award-winning protection adviser, joins from Vitality where she served as national support manager within the national accounts department. She will report to head of distribution Adam Cubitt, who joined the mutual earlier this year.

Her appointment follows OneFamily’s acquisition of Beagle Street in 2022 and marks another step in the group’s plan to scale up its intermediary distribution. McKallip will be tasked with driving new business and helping shape the strategic direction of the brand within the adviser space.

Commenting on her new role, McKallip said: “I was drawn to this role because I was ready for a new challenge, and the journey that OneFamily and Beagle Street are about to embark on was simply too good to miss. As a former adviser, I know firsthand how exciting it is when new providers enter the market – it brings fresh opportunities and more choice for intermediaries, which is exactly what’s needed right now.”

She added: “My goal is to learn as much as possible from my team and the wider organisation, so I can apply that knowledge in my role as business development manager and contribute to our long-term growth. What inspires me most is the chance to truly make this role my own – absorbing insights, shaping plans, and making a meaningful impact. Thankfully, I know I have a strong team supporting me every step of the way.”

During her time as an adviser, McKallip was selected as one of the seven advisers highlighted in the Income Protection Task Force’s national campaign. She is also an ambassador for the Women in Protection Network.

Holly Ewing, distribution director at OneFamily Group, added: “I’m pleased to welcome the very talented Hanna to the team. Her experience as an adviser will give us some great insight and her enthusiasm and drive will be a fantastic asset as we expand into the intermediary market.”
