Dealer group Professional Investment Services (PIS) has boosted its life insurance support business by appointing two managers to provide assistance at a state level.

The managers will help advisers and accountants in the group with technical support on life and general insurance.

It has appointed Peter Nielsen as Regional Risk Manager for Queensland and NSW and David Spiteri to look after Victoria, Tasmania, SA and WA.

PIS Head of Risk Mark Stubbings says the new initiative will strengthen the group’s support at state level for practices offering insurance products.   

“General insurance brokers, financial planners and accountants are much more aware of the consumer benefits of focused and specialised life insurance advice,” he said.

“PIS is dedicated to growing and supporting advice practices through this new structure and the partnership program.”

Mr Stubbings says the program is designed to offer advisers tailored business solutions, client engagement activities and the ability to swap information between practices.
