Protection Guru has appointed Jason Coleman as training and research manager.

He joins the business as part of an initiative to considerably increase Protection Guru’s technical training and support capabilities.

With experience in previous positions at Guardian, Phoenix, Capita Life & Pensions, Resolution plc, and Britannic Assurance, Coleman takes up his role from 7 January and will be responsible for a significant increase in the level of technical output from Protection Guru as well as a series of new training initiatives.

Commenting on his move Coleman said: “I’m delighted to have the chance to continue sharing my enthusiasm for all things protection, and to help the adviser community to add real value to their conversations with consumers, as part of a team with an outstanding reputation for the granular level of detail that advisers need to provide the best possible recommendations.

“This is more important than ever given the FCA’s Consumer Duty requirement that advisers consider value across all protection products.”
