Biography

Roger Edwards is marketing director for Bright Grey and Scottish Provident, responsible for marketing, product development, and PR.

Roger has been developing and marketing financial services products for nearly 20 years, specialising in protection products for the last 15. He was one of the founder members of the management team of Bright Grey, the protection business built from stratch by The Royal London Group in 2003.

Before that he was head of product marketing with Scottish Provident. So things have come full circle now that Scottish Provident is back in the fold.

Co-inventor of the ‘protection menu’ product, which is now an industry standard, Roger believes that modern menu plans provide the flexibility necessary to get the fit just right for every client.
