Sandringham Financial Partners, the national advice company launched earlier this year, has expanded its protection panel.

Having recently announced its 100th adviser application, Sandringham has been developing its proposition and adding a number of new providers to its protection panel.

Friends Life is the first new provider to be added this month, with specialists in the income protection space, Exeter Friendly Society and LV= further strengthening the panel at the end of October.

In addition, Partnership and PULSE have also joined the panel to broaden the impaired life cover it offers.

Steve Braidford, managing director of Sandringham Financial Partners, said: “We are constantly reviewing our protection panel to ensure that we continue to offer the best solutions to our partners and their clients across a range of services.

“Following an extensive review of the providers in the market, we were particularly impressed by the strength and quality of our new protection providers and look forward to working with them as the firm grows.”
