The Right Mortgage & Protection Network and DA Club has announced the appointment of its newest protection development manager.
Tom Fish (pictured) joins the business with immediate effect and will report to director Amanda Wilson.
Fish will work directly with advisory firms, highlighting the full protection panel available to them, the training and support offered in this product space and the team of sales development managers they can access.
He joined from The Right Advice where he was a protection adviser, prior to this he held a similar role at Strathon Park Financial from 2016 to 2022.
He has also worked extensively within the estate and lettings agency sector.
Amanda Wilson, director and shareholder at The Right Mortgage, said: “Protection is a key area for The Right Mortgage and we are focused on ensuring we have a ‘best in class’ proposition to be able to offer our member firms.
“This is vitally important in a Consumer Duty environment where advisers are expected to cover off a variety of consumer needs, not just the mortgage.
“We are very pleased to be able to bring someone of Tom’s experience and skillset on board; prior to this role he was a protection adviser himself so he is fully aware of, and immersed in, the sector, plus knows how to secure and grow business in this area, knowledge he’ll be able to impart to our firms.
“It’s a key, strategic role for The Right Mortgage to fill and I would urge all our members to seek Tom out to see how he can specifically support their protection advice needs.”
Fish added: “For the last eight years, I have been focused on providing clients with the best advice in the protection space and ensuring they have the right cover available to them at any one time.
“I’m very pleased to be able to join The Right Mortgage in a role which allows me to share this experience with our member firms, and which gives me a chance to highlight the market-leading protection proposition we have available to them and their clients.
“Protection should play a key part in every advice business and I’m looking forward to ensuring all our member firms are aware of the opportunity that exists for them with The Right Mortgage.”
