Guardian joins Quilter protection panel

Published on

Guardian has announced that it has joined the Quilter Select protection panel.

This further expands Guardian’s distribution reach, opening access to around 3,000 advisers in Quilter’s network advice business. The Quilter Select panel appointment follows Guardian’s entry into Income Protection.

The protection challenger brand’s capability will allow delivery of a full menu of individual protection products for Quilter advisers to discuss and recommend to their clients.

Vincent O’Connor, head of strategic partnerships at Guardian, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to
secure a place on the Quilter Select protection panel and to achieve this recognition for our brand.

“We know the team at Quilter like Guardian’s approach and were keen to see us offer the clients they
serve a full menu of individual protection products. With the launch of our Income Protection cover
earlier this year we are now able to deliver that.

“We look forward to working closely with the Quilter team and the advice firms in their group to bring Guardian’s award-winning protection to more families who need it.”

Charlotte Nixon, mortgage and protection proposition director at Quilter, added: “Delivering good consumer outcomes is a fundamental aspect of any protection proposition and this is only getting more important under the new Consumer Duty regulation.

“We were impressed by Guardian’s recent Income Protection proposition, particularly its ‘own job’ definition which gives more certainty at claim as well as good levels of flexibility to suit a range of client budgets. We firmly believe protection has a role to play in improving our clients’ financial resilience and we look forward to working with Guardian and the other providers on our panel to help our clients put in place what they need to protect their financial future.”
