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’ve learned from personal experience that planning for the future is not always easy. It often calls for the guiding hand of someone you trust, someone who’s taken the time to get to know you and understands your financial goals.  Equally importantly, someone who comes at the issues you’re facing from your side of the table.

Each of my clients has their own unique story and I make it a priority to find out what drives them - their values, ambitions and objectives. With a long-term approach, I will work alongside you as a reliable partner, always there with the advice and support you need.

Making significant financial decisions can be challenging alone - you can never be fully sure what you may have missed. Objective, expert guidance from someone who fully understands all the issues from the inside can be a vital confidence builder at these times. That is where I come in - clarifying and making sense of your finances, putting in place investment plans for the future and crucially, tracking progress to make sure they deliver results.

I have been working in financial services, nationally and internationally, for over 30 years, primarily in investments and enjoy drawing on that experience to guide, support and educate my clients.

Outside of work, I am a governor at a local primary school and I help out with a charity, The Theatre Shed.  If time allows, I can be found pottering in the garden, walking in the countryside with Finn, my springer spaniel or taking trips in my 1960’s classic car – on those occasions it starts!
