Brett joins Broadstone from Towergate where he led Health & Protection Distribution. He has over 25 years’ experience helping clients improve the health, wellbeing and protection of themselves, their businesses and employees.
Damon has nearly 20 years in the pensions industry, the last 14 of which he has specialised in DC. He joins Broadstone from Aon’s DC consulting team where he held a multifaceted leadership role which included business development, people and proposition development.
As one of the leading specialist employee benefits consultancies in the UK, Broadstone has spent the last 40 years working collaboratively to drive positive change in the sector.
Brett Hill, Head of Health & Protection at Broadstone, commented: “Broadstone is a business with a rich heritage, consistent track record of growth and an outstanding approach to consultancy-led client delivery. I look forward to working with Damon to lead the team into an exciting new stage of growth.”
