Aegon has strengthened its protection sales team with the appointment of Chris Hopkinson as distribution development director and Jon Fuller as head of protection sales.

Both new hires join from LV next month and will report to Dougy Grant, protection director.

Mr Hopkinson led the protection sales team at LV for seven years and was responsible for developing ‘strategic adviser relationships’. As distribution development director, he will strengthen existing and drive new partnerships with advisers.

Mr Fuller was a protection consultant at LV for the last four years. As head of protection sales, he will be responsible for leading the face-to-face sales delivery into the adviser channel. One of his first responsibilities will be to grow the team by recruiting two new protection consultants.

Mr Grant said: “We have exciting and ambitious plans for the growth of our protection business and attracting talented professionals like them to an already strong team is key to achieving these plans.”
