The panel, which goes live on 24 September, will feature a combination of new and existing providers including AEGON Scottish Equitable, AXA, Legal & General, Liverpool Victoria (LV=) and Zurich.
Following its launch Openwork advisers can opt to operate the new panel, or take advantage of the enhanced proposition offered by Openwork’s exclusive multi-tie, Zurich Plus.
The road shows, which begin this week and conclude on Tuesday 5 October, will give advisers the opportunity to meet the providers, receive advice on how to submit business effectively and drive up their protection business.
Commenting on the announcement, Paul Shearman, mortgage, protection and general insurance proposition director, Openwork, said: “The new protection panel represents a major step in our strategy to broaden our proposition and give advisers more choice when it comes to meeting their clients' protection needs.
“The road shows offer our advisers the opportunity to talk to our new providers to enable them to make an informed decision about whether to operate the new panel or to take advantage of the enhanced terms of our exclusive multi-tie. We very much look forward to talking to the 1,000 or so advisers who have signed up to the events.”
