George Higginson, chief operating officer at Sesame Bankhall Group, said: “As the UK’s largest intermediary support services group we have a broad base of adviser customers.
“Our partnership with Connells is another example of how we are able to offer different solutions to suit intermediaries’ individual needs.”
Higginson said that interest in offering protection was increasing, particularly amongst mortgage advisers who were looking to enhance their services to clients.
“This is good news for consumers and we look forward to working closely with Connells on this exciting new initiative,” Higginson continued.
“This partnership clearly demonstrates that our recent expansion in the mortgage market, with the successful launch of our new valuation and legal services, has gained traction.”
David Livesey, group chief executive for Connells, said: “This is a strategic partnership for Connells based upon the synergies between ourselves and Sesame Bankhall Group.
“Our partnership will go beyond protection products by utilising other Connells Group services and making the most of mutual benefits that a long term affiliation will provide.
“This new collaboration will enable our mortgage service consultants to offer best-in-class protection products alongside our award winning mortgage advice and incentives.”
