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.

With over a decade of experience, I believe each client’s journey is unique. I’m committed to delivering tailored advice grounded in genuine care, expertise, and forward-thinking solutions. I’ve built a reputation for cutting through jargon, providing clarity, and offering peace of mind—all while keeping you focused on achieving your goals.

My services cover comprehensive financial planning, tax-efficient investment strategies, and support through life’s key milestones—so you can focus on what truly matters, while I take care of the details.

Outside of Advising

Outside of my advisory role, I’m committed to mentoring. I find great satisfaction in helping others—from secondary school students to young professionals in the financial industry—build confidence, resilience, and a foundation for future success. In my personal life, I enjoy staying active through football and fitness, spending quality time with my wife and Bengal cats, and unwinding with a good crime thriller. As a keen sports fan, I also keep up with a variety of sports.
