Omni Protect, Fintel’s whole of market premium protection club proposition, has appointed long-standing industry figure, Dave Butler, to the position of Head of Protection Development. In the newly created role, Butler will grow and evolve Omni Protect’s proposition, making it easier and more compelling for advisers to write protection business, whilst strengthening relationships with providers and working to improve client outcomes.
Emma Vaughan, Managing Director of Omni Protect, commented:
“I’ve long admired Dave’s strong track record of delivering practical, insight-led solutions for advisers and their clients.
“Six months on from the launch of Omni Protect, this is an exciting time for both our business and the wider sector, and I’m absolutely delighted to welcome Dave to the team as we continue to deliver better financial outcomes to all.”
Launched in September 2025, Omni Protect represents around 22% of the directly authorised population and provides access to enhanced commission rates, dedicated BDM support, and a comprehensive programme of face-to-face and digital education and networking opportunities.
Dave Butler added:
“Having worked alongside Emma and the team for a number of years, this role feels like a natural fit. The BDM team at Omni Protect has so much knowledge and experience, and, combined with the valuable work being undertaken by our partners, we really can make a material difference.
From family and mortgage to business and wealth protection, there are so many opportunities to get more clients protected and help Omni Protect members deliver even greater outcomes. I’m really looking forward to leading the development team in the next chapter of my career.”
