Royal London Takes to the Road

Scottish Life, Royal London's Intermediary division, is hosting a series of roadshows to help advisers find their way through the new pension landscape ahead of the changes coming in April 2015.

The first event takes place on Monday 22 September, and will see industry expert Ned Cazalet sharing findings from a new independent report he has carried out, commissioned by Royal London. Phil Loney, Royal London Group CEO, and Isobel Langton, CEO of Royal London Intermediary, will be sharing the platform with Ned.

The roadshows will be hosted by Lucian Camp, marketing, branding and communications expert. Fiona Tait, Business Development Manager at Scottish Life, will also be speaking and she will outline Royal London's proposition response to the market challenges laid down by Ned.

Isobel Langton, CEO of Royal London Intermediary says: “Our aim is that these events will help advisers successfully navigate through the new At Retirement world. Ned's insights are original and thoughtful, and we are looking forward to a series of interesting and engaging events over the coming months.”

Scottish Life officially moves under the Royal London brand on 24 November 2014.
