Meanwhile, eleven new consultants have joined Premier Choice Group since October 2015 bringing the total number of consultants to 62.

Claire Ginnelly, managing director of Premier Choice Group said: "I am delighted to welcome on-board such successful and experienced advisers. It is testament to our offering to advisers across the market that we can attract the calibre of Appointed Representatives, employed and self-employed consultants that we do.

"Advisers coming to Premier Choice Group know that they will be helped to grow their client banks and benefit from the training and support we provide across the whole range of health and wellbeing products."
