Pink has launched a Business Protection Club, available to its appointed representatives (ARs) and offers training and support in the specialist area of business protection.

Business protection specialists will benefit from individual authorisation and an ongoing programme of regional workshops and training events to help them develop and grow their skills.

The Business Protection Club is supported by Aviva, Bright Grey, Pru Protect and Zurich who form part of Pink’s exclusive protection panel.

Peter Hamilton, head of retail propositions for Zurich’s UK Life Business, said: “Initiatives such as Pink’s Business Protection Club are an invaluable source of support to advisers, helping them deliver the best possible service to their small business customers.

“We’re committed to supporting advisers in growing their businesses and helping them to ensure their customers have appropriate cover in place – whether for their businesses or families.”

Mark Graves, head of Pink Network, added: “The Business Protection Club has been developed following feedback from advisers attending our quarterly road show events.

“There is a continuing appetite from our advisers to expand their skill set and the launch of the club is part of our 2013 strategy to build on our strong protection foundation and focus on the further development and training of our ARs in more specialist areas.”
