MGM Advantage announces new Head of Marketing

9-10-2008

London, 09 October. MGM Advantage, the retirement income specialist, today announces the appointment of Lynsay Dickinson as Head of Marketing. Lynsay joins from Prudential and will report to Aston Goodey, Sales and Marketing Director.

Lynsay brings with her a strong background in financial services communications. Over the past year she managed the public relations for Prudential’s Annuities and Lifetime Mortgage products division. She has also worked as Senior Marketing Manager for the annuities arm of Prudential’s business.

Aston Goodey said: “The addition of Lynsay to our communications team further demonstrates our commitment to becoming one of the top enhanced annuities providers in the UK. Her skills and experience in the market will make sure we continue to deliver our messages in the most clear and straight-forward way possible, to all our audiences.”

Goodey continued, “Lynsay joins a team united in the belief that people aren’t getting the best deal they deserve when they retire. Consumers need good advice, especially now that times are tougher. MGM Advantage intends to play a vital role in making people aware of the need to shop around and seek independent financial advice so they can make the most of their pension pot.”

Previously known as MGM Assurance, MGM Advantage re-launched as a retirement income specialist in June 2008, offering enhanced annuities which cover a wide spectrum of health conditions. It offers an industry-leading 45 day quote and best price guarantee.

NOTES TO EDITORS

History: Based in Sussex, the life assurer opened its doors in 1852 as Marine and General Mutual Life Assurance Society, to fill the poorly-met insurance needs of seafarers and traders.
