The Income Protection Task Force (IPTF) has announced plans for 2025 during its annual membership presentation.
Following a year which included the ongoing 7Advisers project, the 10-year anniversary of 7Families, the launch of the Lets Talk IP podcast, and the hosting of Income Protection Action Week, the organisation outlined plans for further development.
The 2025 plans include the continuation of key initiatives such as 7Advisers, IPAW, workstream meetings, and the return of the Lets Talk IP podcast.
The IPTF said it aims to focus on education, collaboration, and insight through several new projects.
In 2025, the IPTF will also restructure, introducing a board for professional oversight.
Andrew Wibberley will step down as co-chair after four years, with Jo Miller taking on the role of managing director and board chair, while Vicky Churcher will become executive director and vice chair.
Wibberley said: “In the last four years, the shift from people working on IP because they felt they ought to, to people suffering FOMO if they’re not involved has been great to see.
“Most importantly this is translating into more people protecting their incomes which is a fantastic thing.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the results of the next exciting things coming out of the IPTF and those sales continuing to grow.”
Managing director Jo Miller said: “It’s been an exciting year for IPTF where we have continued our work to raise the profile of income protection.
“The market is heading in the right direction, and we have reached new audiences this year but we’re looking forward to taking this even further in 2025 with a mix of old favourites and ambitious new initiatives which will help improve adviser education and help us work collaboratively across the industry to help us amplify our message.”
