Leading enhanced annuity provider, Just Retirement, has just appointed a new head of sales. As a specialist UK life assurance group with the aim of providing financial services to those at or in retirement they are keen to increase momentum in a developing market. They have announced the appointment of John Pyburn as Associate Director, IFA sales, to take immediate effect.
John has a great deal of experience within the life assurance sector having worked previously with companies such as Canada Life, Scottish Mutual and Scottish Widows in very senior sales roles. Most recently, he was Director of Business Partnerships for State Street Global Advisers where he led the move into the Asset Gatherer market with key responsibility for building the strategy, infrastructure and implementation of that move. A bit different from the annuity market.
Commenting on his appointment, David Cooper, Just Retirement’s Marketing and Distribution Director stated that John brings a great deal of experience and knowledge to the role, and that his track record in life assurance sales is excellent while his most recent experience of building partnerships is exactly in tune with the future aims of Just Retirement.
So, comfort if needed. Just Retirement are continuing to build on their already strong position in the market, which is good to know if you are seeking annuity quotes to find the best annuity rates for your circumstances, especially if you qualify for enhanced annuity rates for reasons of ill health.
