John Stephenson

Business Development Director

John is the Business Development Director at The InsureLife Group and the Manging Director at our sister business The Forces Transition Group (FTG) and works in the Transitional Military Community Space.

Having had a long career within the Armed Forces, the FTG specialises in the career paths of those leaving the services, their families, ex-forces, and blue light. After John struggled to adapt to civilian life on exiting the Military, the FTG was set up to create a much higher understanding of the real world and how that translates to those leaving the forces, increasing their professional brand, and creating job acceleration through strong business partnerships.

John is married to Mandy (who also works as a Group Business Manager in the FTG), has two children Alicia and Jasmine and a Grandson James who is one. Football is his passion, unfortunately Sunderland AFC is his team!

Richard Goodwin

Sales Director

Richard fell into the Insurance Industry around 20 years ago and he has never left, or is it, never got out!?

As the Sales Director at Insure Life, he seeks to assist the team in developing product and industry knowledge along with helping them develop themselves, which he feels strongly about. This falls into a cliché saying of ‘People by off People’ as he is committed to delivering high-quality advice for all his clients, whether that be personal insurance, business protection or private healthcare.

Out of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, going to watch his beloved football club, Liverpool and of course socialising with friends and colleagues.
