Fidelity Life has promoted Todd Allan (pictured) to head of adviser distribution. He reports to Adrian Riminton, the insurer’s joint acting CEO and chief distribution officer.
According to a statement from Fidelity Life, one of the key areas that Allan and his team will focus on is supporting advisers through a period of significant change in the advisory sector.
“The new financial advice regime, conduct and culture changes and, more recently, COVID-19 are all having an impact on our business, our distribution partners and the broader industry,” said Riminton.
“We’re investing in supporting all our distribution partners through these changes, with our Building Better Businesses programme and broader professional development support great examples. We’re focused on a successful and sustainable future for advisers’ businesses and ours, and Todd has a critical role to play in delivering this.”
Allan joined Fidelity Life in 2018 as a business development manager. Later that year, he was named manager, key distribution partnerships – retail, which he held until this most recent promotion. Earlier in his career, Allan worked for Asteron Life and Sovereign Assurance.
