7 Advisers

The 7 Advisers campaign follows 7 advisers throughout the year, offering a behind-the-scenes look into their professional lives as they raise awareness of, and champion, income protection. Through a series of video diary entries and podcast features, they share valuable insights into their daily experiences, the challenges they face and the successes they enjoy.

Our new IPTF 7Advisers

We’re very excited to introduce this year’s IPTF 7 Advisers cohort – a group of passionate, committed professionals from across the industry. We’re delighted to be working with them and are looking forward to what we can achieve together over the coming year. At the heart of this initiative is our pillar of collaboration – bringing advisers together with industry stakeholders to share insight, challenge thinking, and help drive positive change across the protection landscape. Over the next 12 months, this group will play a key role in shaping conversations, contributing to projects, and acting as advocates for income protection within their networks. Here’s to a year of learning, collaboration and impact.

Support from our 7Advisers

Our advisers are actively involved in a range of IPTF projects and workstreams. As experts in their fields, their perspectives make them well placed to provide informed, practical input that reflects the realities of advising on income protection.
