Two former advisers have joined NEOS Life in BDM roles serving advisers in South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.

New NEOS Life BDM, Andrew Bridgland …appointed ahead of time to serve advisers in SA/NT

Andrew Bridgland has been appointed as a dedicated NEOS Life BDM for advisers operating in South Australia and the Northern Territory.

Bridgland spent more than ten years as an adviser – predominantly in the risk space – before selling his business and taking on BDM roles at MLC and Asteron Life prior to joining NEOS Life earlier this month.

According to NEOS, its planned move to appoint a dedicated resource for SA/NT was brought forward following what it says has been strong and growing demand for its life insurance product solutions.

This solid growth sees the appointment – also ahead of time – of Karim Yamen, joining the existing NEOS BDM team that provides services for advisers operating across Victoria and Tasmania.

Yamen was a risk-focussed adviser for five years following experience he gained as a paraplanner. He joins NEOS Life from AIA Australia, where he served as a BDM for three years from 2016 until his appointment to NEOS last month.

Commenting on these appointments, NEOS Life Head of Sales, Charles du Plooy, said, “We are delighted to now have on-the-ground support in South Australia ahead of schedule and a growing presence in Victoria following unprecedented adviser demand for our products.”
