Royal London relaunches international arm

Royal London has launched its combined international business, Royal London 360° only six months after the merger of Scottish Life International and Scottish Provident International.

The group focused on developing the brand and product strategy for the combined operation at the close of last year and is now ready to role the company out to the market.

Its head office will continue to be based in the Isle of Man, with offices in Hong Kong, Lebanon and Dubai. Royal London 360° will handle business in the Far East, Africa, Middle East, Germany as well as the UK.

David Kneeshaw, chief executive of Royal London 360°, said: "We are in challenging economic times, but at Royal London 360° we believe it is the perfect time to demonstrate how we can offer value.

"We are committed to developing long term relationships with local partners in all our core markets, with one joint global vision in mind: building wealth for our clients," he added.
