DLP’s LifeQuote system goes live with Darlington staff

Direct Life & Pension has announced it is teaming up with Darlington Building Society to offer branch staff access to its LifeQuote Plus system.

The move means staff across 13 Darlington branches will now have access to protection products from nine leading insurers, including Scottish Provident, Bright Grey, Aegon and Friends Provident.

Access to the quotation software means staff can submit online applications and receive administrative support for protection inquires.

DLP sales and marketing director Neil McCarthy says: “We look forward to working with the Society to grow their protection business and, in partnership with them, offer first class service to their members.”
