Glasgow Independent Financial Adviser wins Bright Grey’s healthiest award
Monday, 4 February 2008
Glasgow-based independent financial adviser Steven Haldane of Campbell Dallas Financial Services beat financial advisers from across Britain and was crowned 'healthiest adviser' by Bright Grey at an industry conference held recently in London.
Neil Cameron, PR Manager for Bright Grey, the protection specialist arm of the Royal London Group said, "We were delighted to support this award. As a company dealing in protection, we are very keen to promote the importance of staying healthy."
Tests were taken to assess advisers' blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar level and Body Mass Index by nurses from RED ARC, to promote good health and confirm who was the healthiest adviser. RED ARC provide part of the Helping Hand support service available to Bright Grey plan owners
Steven, who beat off competition from around one hundred other financial advisers to clinch the title and win a robot, said:
"Eating porridge every morning plays a big part in my health and fitness regime and if I feel fit, I think fit and this helps me stay on the ball. The health checks were an excellent way of promoting Bright Grey and its Helping Hand service as well as encouraging people to be health conscious."

Notes to editors:
RED ARC is an independent care advisory service, offering advice, support and information to people who have been affected through illness or disability. The service is offered at no extra cost to Bright Grey plan owners.
The Helping Hand service is included in the cost of all Bright Grey plans, can give much needed support at very difficult times. The NHS and private health care organisations help with medical care but they can't always provide the emotional and practical support most people and their families need.
Bright Grey's Helping Hand service is designed to offer a broad range of support to the plan holder and their family as soon a claim is made, or as soon as a family member dies, becomes critically or terminally ill or is unable to work due to long-term sickness or injury.
