Can the right protection help you become more financially resilient?

Have you heard of the ‘protection gap’? You probably know someone who’s fallen into it.

Most of us know to get travel or pet insurance, or even just insure our mobile phone. But when it comes to really big life events, cover can easily get overlooked – causing a gap.

Far too many people aren’t properly protected against life-changing events, like losing their job or not being able to work because they’ve fallen ill. Which means that when these things do happen, they can have a much bigger impact than they need to.

Luckily, cover like income protection and critical illness can help people become more financially resilient. So, if you do have a financial shock, it doesn’t have to turn everything upside down. And it can be surprisingly simple and affordable.

If you’ve had a big milestone recently, or a change in your circumstances, it might be the right time to relook at your protection needs.

Reach out to me and I’ll be happy to help.

I am a Financial Advisor based in Crawley, West Sussex, drawing on eight years of experience within financial services. My focus is on guiding individuals, families, and businesses through key areas of financial planning, including retirement planning, investments, estate planning, and protection.

I believe in being open, honest, and approachable, offering clear advice so clients can feel fully informed and confident in their decisions. My approach is centred on genuine understanding and personal connection. I aim to create long lasting relationships built on trust, ensuring each client’s goals and aspirations are carefully considered.

My objective is to help people feel reassured in the present, prepared for the future, and confident that their financial interests are being supported. It’s about providing clear, steady guidance that leads to long-term security and well-being.

Away from the professional side, I appreciate a balanced life. I’m a keen follower of Formula 1 and Fulham FC, and I enjoy gaming or playing golf to unwind. You might also find me walking my dog around Crawley or spending time with family and friends. My golf game may not be ready for The Open, but the challenge of improving shot by shot is a nice reminder that progress often comes one small step at a time.
