On this site you can find out more about Adviser Direct and read personal profiles of our consultants. As the Adviser Direct team is split into 2 types of consultants, their different roles and links to their relevant profiles are detailed below.
Business Consultants
Adviser Direct's Business Consultants work with defined groups of financial adviser firms, offering the same level of knowledge and expertise as our field Business Consultants. You can expect regular contact from your Business Consultant, through email, telephone and, where the opportunity arises, face-to-face meetings at seminars, etc. Our office-based Business Consultants work within defined geographies, allowing them to pick up on local sentiment through interactions with advisers. This greater understanding can help Skandia's relationship with financial advisers, and lead to enhanced support for your business.
Account Consultants
Adviser Direct's Account Consultants work with advisers who do not use Skandia as a provider of choice, or historically have not used the Skandia Investment Solutions (SIS) platform. With the RDR clock ticking, we recognise that a large number of advisers are either making decisions about which platform(s) to use or are in the early stages of investigating what platforms can offer over more traditional life and pensions providers. Our Account Consultants work proactively to help advisers through the RDR transition by identifying firms who want to start using Skandia's SIS platform and ensuring those early days run as smoothly as possible. Our Account Consultants can help you with an initial enquiry about working with Skandia and, to make it easier to choose one, we have assigned each a part of the UK. Please visit Account Consultants for full details.
