I have spent the last 30 years in financial services helping mortgage and protection business to close the UK protection gap. Only 10% of the UK have a will and there are millions of unprotected families and businesses out there that have little or no safety net if the worst happens.
My wife had stage 3 breast cancer in 2014, a mastectomy, chemo and radiotherapy and took years to recover from.
Cancer is very expensive and as such we wouldn't have survived without our critical illness cover.
That is where the passion comes from to close the UK life insurance protection gap.
I have been on numerous industry podcasts and am regularly in the mortgage industry press.
