FHL is constantly evolving and Jan’s appointment marks the next step change we are making in providing closer support for our distribution panel. She has a great pedigree and I am sure our partners will be delighted with the contribution she will make.

“FHL is in the process of making other new appointments both externally and internally to further support our proposition in the intermediary market.”
