The Income Protection Task Force (IPTF) has appointed several directors to its newly formed board for oversight and governance.
Joining Jo Miller and Vicky Churcher on the board are Peter Le Beau, one of the IPTF’s founders, Christine Husbands, and Phil Jeynes.
The IPTF will also collaborate with associates, including Matthew Chapman, The Protection Coach; Stevie Arnoldi from Sea Studios, leading content production; and Tracey Boyd from Mortgage Hub Expert, who will coordinate activities for the growing group of 7Advisers and Ambassadors.
Miller said: “We have ambitious plans for 2025 and while we’re enthusiastic to get going with our plans, we are aware of the need to be accountable to members and provide value in what we do.
“The board will help to challenge our strategy and provide a layer of scrutiny for our activities going forward. We are really looking forward to their input.”
Le Beau said: “When I formed the IPTF back in 2005 it was my very real hope that it would help to lead the way in raising awareness of the need for income protection.
“I am delighted to be able to continue contributing to this cause as part of the board.”
Husbands added: “I am delighted to be able to contribute to the work of the IPTF board and grateful that working part time for Red Arc now allows me to draw on my extensive board experience to volunteer and give back to an industry that I feel so passionately about.”
Jeynes concluded: “Both personal and professional experience has made me a strong advocate for income protection.
“I’m honoured to be joining such prestigious company on the IPTF board and hope that my energy and enthusiasm will help to build on the great work the team have done to date in growing awareness and sales of this vital group of products.”
