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.

Charlie B

I required a financial adviser to help with my general money situation and to access my 30 year pension and was recommended to Heta.

Heta visited me in my home and was quickly able to grasp my situation and assured me that she would get things moving quickly.

This she did and, throughout, I have found Heta to be very reliable, responding to my emails quickly and a great person to have on my side.

George delivered a clear and concise report with tailored guidance to support the preparation of a Will and financial planning for my Mum.  

Mark M

George took the time to thoroughly review all my existing financial products and how I was managing my money. After a detailed consultation, he recommended improvements where they could make a meaningful difference to my finances, and also reassured me about the areas I was already handling well. His advice was always backed by clear explanations, making it easy to understand the reasoning behind each recommendation. I felt confident and well-informed throughout the process.

What drives me

At the heart of my practice is a genuine commitment to the people I work with, shaped through a rich career in leading, supporting and learning from others. From service as a British Army Officer, to leading humanitarian programmes across Europe, Asia and beyond, and later guiding teams and projects at a top consulting firm, my career has been defined by leadership in high-impact, people-driven environments. This has instilled deep values of service, integrity and respect for others. I now apply this structured, values driven approach to helping clients achieve their goals. 

My journey started with a Mechanical Engineering degree (First Class Hons) from Durham University. Throughout my career, a commitment to continuous learning has been central to my philosophy. As a client, I ensure you understand each decision we make together, empowering you to feel confident and informed about your financial future.
