Omni Protect Appoints Dave Butler as Head of Protection Development

Omni Protect has appointed Dave Butler to the role of head of protection development. Butler has more than 25 years of experience in the protection industry, having previously worked at Legal & General, AIG, Zurich, and Vitality in roles covering proposition design and business development.

Omni Protect is Fintel’s whole-of-market premium protection club proposition. The club was launched in September last year and represents over a fifth of the directly authorised (DA) cohort.

In his new position, Butler will be responsible for evolving and growing Omni Protect’s proposition. His remit includes making it easier for advisers to write protection business, improving client outcomes, and strengthening relationships with providers.

Emma Vaughan, managing director of Omni Protect, commented on Butler’s appointment and highlighted the timing, coming six months after the launch of the club.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, developments in protection products and adviser support may impact the range of insurance and protection options available to clients in the property sector.
