Paymentshield has expanded its sales team with the recruitment of two new regional sales managers for Scotland and the South West.

Ian Angus-Felton joins Paymentshield as regional sales manager for Scotland, having previously held business development manager (BDM) roles at Royal London and Vitality UK. He has also worked as a senior consultant for Redmill Resourcing, managing IFA acquisitions on behalf of the national financial advisory business.

In the South West, Frankie Selwyn becomes Paymentshield’s regional sales manager, following previous roles at When You Move, LWSIS and Thomson Reuters.

Angus-Felton said: “I’m driven by helping intermediaries protect their clients against life’s catastrophes and Paymentshield is the market leader in this field, so I am delighted to join the team.”

Selwyn added: “I have previous experience of working alongside mortgage advisers and have always enjoyed building strong relationships with the people I work with. It feels like I have joined Paymentshield at a really exciting time and I can’t wait to meet all of our advisers based in the south west.”

James Watson (pictured), sales director at Paymentshield, welcomed the pair. He said: “Being a leader in our market means we understand the importance of giving advisers a complete experience that combines product, price, technology and service.

“A strong sales team is an important part of this experience and we have continued to invest in the support we offer advisers with new roles and excellent recruitment. I believe that, at Paymentshield, we now have the strongest team in the market, both in terms of quality and quantity.”
