Our aim is to provide our customers with a product that gives longer term protection against the prospect or rising interest rates. This new stepped discount and extended discount demonstrates that Preferred is delivering intermediaries even more choice"

Biddle continues: "Much of our success this year is down to our rapidly growing intermediary network. We will continue to launch products which help intermediaries to meet their clients' needs."
