Next Intelligence has announced a refresh of its protection panel with the addition of National Friendly, as it looks to expand the range of options available to its broker members.
The mortgage club said the update underlined its commitment to strengthening its protection proposition and providing advisers with the tools needed to meet the varied needs of their clients.
National Friendly, which has been operating for more than 150 years, specialises in products aimed at groups often overlooked by traditional insurers, including gig economy workers, landlords, young families and freelancers.
Gifford Clay, head of intermediary sales at National Friendly, said: “Joining Next Intelligence’s panel is an exciting opportunity for us to collaborate with a forward-thinking mortgage club that truly understands the needs of its members. We’re aligned in our mission to deliver high-quality protection products and outstanding service.”
Cat Armstrong, mortgage club director at Next Intelligence, added: “We’re delighted to welcome National Friendly to our refreshed protection panel.
“This expansion broadens the range of protection options available to our members, and we’re proud to deliver a more comprehensive solution that supports their business growth and delivers meaningful value.”
The changes form part of Next Intelligence’s strategy to maintain a diverse protection panel that reflects the shifting demands of customers and gives brokers greater flexibility when sourcing cover.
