Why become a member of the PDG?

The Protection Distributors Group was established in 2016 to bring protection distributors together around a shared ambition: to grow the protection market responsibly and help more people secure the financial protection they need.

We are not a trade body; our purpose is to serve the interests of customers through the knowledge, commitment and vision of our members. Our group encourages collaboration and good practice, and works with industry stakeholders to remove barriers, improve customer outcomes and strengthen confidence in protection.

Why Membership Matters

Greater influence: Contribute to a stronger, coordinated distributor voice with insurers, service providers, regulators and other industry stakeholders.
Better market intelligence: Gain access to shared insight on customer needs, distribution trends, operational challenges and emerging opportunities.
Peer collaboration: Learn from other distributors, exchange practical ideas and tackle common issues without working in isolation.
Representation on shared priorities: Help shape activity on areas such as customer outcomes, access to protection, product development, claims experience and responsible growth.
Professional credibility: Demonstrate a commitment to high standards, positive customer outcomes and the long-term health of the protection market.
Stronger partnerships: Build productive relationships across the protection ecosystem and create opportunities for joint initiatives.

The Difference Members Can Make

Membership is not simply about receiving information. It is an opportunity to contribute experience, identify barriers, develop practical solutions and help the protection market serve more people effectively.

Our members come in all shapes and sizes, bringing a wide range of experiences and viewpoints to our group which benefits us all.

Some of our members are more active than others; there is no specific requirement for involvement other than a desire to share as well as to learn.

Collectively, our combined strength is what has helped us to deliver initiatives such as the Claims Charter and be invited to work with the FCA.
