National Friendly has announced a new partnership, making its suite of protection products available to advisers across Primis Mortgage Network.
Advisers within the Primis network will now have access to National Friendly's protection products, accident-only income protection, income protection and friendly shield, the latter of which is the mutual's flagship product, designed to provide essential, short-term cover for clients who may not qualify for, or cannot afford, traditional policies.
National Friendly says that the partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping advisers address the protection gap by providing clients with access to flexible and affordable protection solutions, particularly for those whose circumstances may make it harder to secure traditional cover.
"We’re delighted to be joining the Primis panel and working alongside advisers across the network to help broaden access to protection solutions," Graham Singleton, chief executive at National Friendly, said.
"This partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting clients with flexible and affordable cover options, particularly those whose circumstances may not fit traditional protection options."

"We’re looking forward to working closely with Primis advisers and helping them access products designed for customers who are often underserved in the market."
Craig Hall, director of strategic partnerships at LSL FS, commented: "It’s great to welcome National Friendly to the Primis panel. We always strive to give our advisers choice and flexibility, and National Friendly’s focus on accessible and affordable protection solutions helps us to do that.
"We always want to support our advisers, provide broader options for them, stronger pricing and ultimately more ways to serve clients with products that offer the best possible outcomes for all. That’s what makes this partnership such an important strategic fit for us."
