The expanded team will support the Head of Sales, Antony Uttley by handling increased demand from intermediaries as well as developing new relationships that will support the sale of all of Shepherds insurance and savings products.
Alexander joined the society in June 2015 and played a crucial role in the launch of the Income Protection plan. Before joining he held positions at Santander and Financial Matters, working in personal banking and advised protection sales.
Zoe Meredith has been taken on as a Business Development Consultant. Her experience includes roles with Lloyds Bank and Edward Mellor and she will be responsible for proving support to IFAs in the north of England, North Wales and Scotland.
Antony Uttley, Head of Sales at Shepherds Friendly Society, said:
“Alexander has a really positive attitude and I know with his unique view on the industry and broad product knowledge he will help develop our intermediary relationships so they go from strength to strength.”
Alexander Fallowes said:
“I am delighted to have been given the opportunity to lead Shepherds Friendly Society into an even more successful 2016. I want us to be regarded as one of the top providers in the industry, and will work alongside Antony and the business development team to help this become a reality.”
