Fosters Financial Launches Specialist Protection Team

Fosters Financial is pleased to announce the launch of a new Specialist Protection Team, dedicated to advising on Life Insurance, Critical Illness Cover, and Income Protection.

This development reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering tailored financial solutions that genuinely meet the needs of our clients. With protection becoming an increasingly important part of financial planning, we recognised the need for a team solely focused on helping individuals and families safeguard their income, health, and future.

The new team will consist of experienced protection advisers who specialise in providing clear, personal guidance. Whether it’s protecting a mortgage, maintaining financial stability during illness, or ensuring loved ones are looked after should the worst happen.

To lead this new division, we’re also delighted to welcome Ben Maidstone to the business.
Ben joins Fosters Financial with nearly two decades of experience in this space and a strong track record of delivering customer-focused advice. His passion for raising awareness around financial resilience and delivering high-quality protection solutions makes him the ideal person to head up this part of the business.

Ben Maidstone, Head of Protection at Fosters Financial, said:

“Protection isn’t just about policies – it’s about people. It’s about understanding their lives, their worries, and giving them confidence that, whatever happens, they’ll be financially secure. I’m thrilled to join Fosters and lead a team that shares that mindset. There’s a real opportunity here to raise the bar for protection advice, and I’m excited to get started.”

John Foster, Managing Director at Fosters Financial, said:

“Protection has always been a core part of what we offer, but this move allows us to give it the dedicated attention it deserves. It’s about going beyond the basics and making sure our clients have the right cover in place for their individual circumstances – not just what’s easiest to arrange.”

Andy Barlow, Sales and Development Director, added:

“Too often, protection is treated as an afterthought. We want to change that. This team brings focus, expertise and the time to really understand each client’s needs. It’s a major step in helping more people put the right safety nets in place – not just for peace of mind, but for real financial resilience.”

This new division will support both new and existing clients, with advice tailored to their life stage, financial responsibilities, and future plans.
