This is the Podcast for providers and advisers looking to share business ideas and inspiration in the world of protection and finance.
In Episode 3 my guest is Alan Lakey.
Alan is a well-known UK independent financial adviser thanks to his frequent appearances in trade media publications and clear views on critical illness cover and regulation. He runs a firm called Highclere Financial Services. He’s had considerable success with a comparison engine called CIExpert.
Listen as Alan describes his business model and how CIExpert came about. Hear Alan’s views on the UK critical illness cover market. Whilst its complexity has boosted the success of Alan’s business, he believes the product is too complex and suggests alternative approaches.
Alan’s story is a fascinating example of third parties are often having to create their own solutions the industry’s complexities.

What is the Marketing Finance and Protection (MPAF) Podcast?
The MPAF Podcast is a 30 minute audio show you download from http://rogeredwards.co.uk/mpaf (http://rogeredwards.co.uk/mpaf) , iTunes or Stitcher Radio. Each week I’ll be interviewing financial services providers, advisers, experts and journalists. Interviews to listen to in the car, on the train or on the treadmill.
I’ll be asking what we can do to make protection and finance more accessible to the consumer. We’ll talk about:
· Marketing, communications and propositions.
· Financial and protection products
· Interesting business models and campaigns
as well discussing how advisers can promote their own businesses using modern content and social media methods.
My aim is to make sure that you will get one or two big business ideas that you can apply to you own business, whether it is a sales idea, advice idea, product tweak or simply an app that is worth looking at.
I’m your host, Roger Edwards. A Marketer for 25 years, ex-MD of Bright Grey and Scottish Provident, content and social media champion, I’m now in business to help your business.
