Omni Protect Appoints Dave Butler as Head of Protection Development

Omni Protect has appointed Dave Butler as its new head of protection development. Butler brings more than 25 years of experience in the protection sector to the newly created role.

Butler most recently worked with Legal & General (L&G) and has previously held senior positions in business development and proposition design at AIG, Zurich, and Vitality. In his new position at Omni Protect, Butler will be responsible for growing and evolving the company's proposition.

Omni Protect managing director Emma Vaughan commented on Butler’s appointment, highlighting his track record of delivering practical, insight-led solutions for advisers and their clients. She noted that the appointment comes six months after the launch of Omni Protect.

Butler stated that the role feels like a natural fit, referencing his previous experience working alongside Emma Vaughan and the Omni Protect team.

This appointment may be of interest to UK letting agents and inventory clerks who monitor developments in the protection sector, as changes in leadership and proposition development can influence the range of protection products available in the property market.
