An adviser’s insight

Graphic of people learning about protection

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.

More about me

I believe that good financial advice is built on trust and long-term relationships. That’s why I take the time to understand my clients - their ambitions, concerns, and what truly matters to them. By getting to know you, I can provide a tailored approach that aligns with your goals, whether it’s planning for retirement, growing your wealth, or ensuring your estate is protected for future generations.

I am married with 3 children. Outside of work I enjoy cooking and long walks. I am a passionate football supporter so I like going to matches when I get the chance. I also enjoy going to concerts and 'trying' to play the guitar. I love a good theme park too!
