The OneFamily Group has appointed Hanna McKallip (pictured) as business development manager (BDM) for its Beagle Street brand.
McKallip will focus on bringing in new business and supporting group growth as its intermediary distribution expands.
She will report to Adam Cubitt, head of distribution, who joined earlier this year.
McKallip previously worked as an whole of market protection adviser and took part in the Income Protection Task Force’s (IPTFs) 7 advisers campaign.
She is also an ambassador for the Women in Protection Network.
Most recently, McKallip worked at Vitality as national support manager in the national accounts department.
McKallip said: “I was drawn to this role because I was ready for a new challenge, and the journey that OneFamily and Beagle Street are about to embark on was simply too good to miss.
“As a former adviser, I know firsthand how exciting it is when new providers enter the market – it brings fresh opportunities and more choice for intermediaries, which is exactly what’s needed right now.
“My goal is to learn as much as possible from my team and the wider organisation, so I can apply that knowledge in my role as business development manager and contribute to our long-term growth.”
McKallip added: “What inspires me most is the chance to truly make this role my own – absorbing insights, shaping plans, and making a meaningful impact.
“Thankfully, I know I have a strong team supporting me every step of the way.”
Holly Ewing, distribution director at OneFamily Group, said: “I’m pleased to welcome the very talented Hanna to the team.
“Her experience as an adviser will give us some great insight and her enthusiasm and drive will be a fantastic asset as we expand into the intermediary market.”
