Our Distribution Directors
What we're doing to help you
Cecilia Furner, Distribution Director, Retail Annuities
"Since Pension Freedoms, we have seen a behavioural shift away from annuities, causing many to ignore the value of guaranteed income. What we see now in the market, is that advisers recognise that it isn’t a binary decision. Combining the flexibility of drawdown and the certainty of annuities can often lead to better outcomes for clients.
As a team we build partnerships and consultative relationships with advisers and firms; we help grow their businesses, as well as deliver value for their clients."
David Jones, Distribution Director, Legal & General Home Finance
"We want to work even more closely in supporting our to support our partners to enable them to offer outstanding advice, service and products to their clients, really embedding lifetime mortgages and retirement interest only mortgages as core elements of later life financial planning."
