"Iain's wealth of experience means he is an excellent addition. His previous roles in both life and investment companies make him perfectly placed to lead the team to support advisers in making key investment decisions for their clients.

"As a result of its long-term performance and the value it offers, our popular flagship Governed Range now has £66bn of customers' money under management. Iain and the team will be focused on continuing to strengthen that offering, along with developing our broader investment suite, to ensure Royal London continues to be a compelling choice for advisers looking to deliver positive customer outcomes."

This is where Royal London comes in. Our mutual status, range of products, strong performance and commitment to working with advisers enables us to offer solutions firmly aligned to client objectives."
