Couldn’t recommend enough!

Paul and Emma have been fantastic! As insurance brokers, they made everything super smooth and helped me get set up with all those admin bits you’d never think about. From insurance to Wills and even guidance on utility bills, they’ve been a huge help. Thanks again both :)

Peace of Mind and Proper Protection Sorted

After seeing how vulnerable a business can be when the right protection isn’t in place, I sat down with Paul McGowan at How Financial Review and I’m so glad I did.

He helped me put the right things in place, including a professionally written Will, both types of Lasting Power of Attorney, Relevant Life cover, and Executive Income Protection.

Now I know that my business and my family are properly protected, and that someone I trust can step in if I’m ever unable to make decisions myself. Paul made the whole process simple, clear and genuinely valuable.

I’d highly recommend him to any business owner who hasn’t reviewed their protection recently.

Thanks so much Lewis, really glad we could help you get all of this sorted.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Simply a brilliant service!

I’ve recently worked with Paul to get relevant life, income protection, critical illness and medical cover for my wife and I.

The process was super simple, I sent my information, and was presented tailored options which were explained simply and free of jargon.

I’ve referred my clients to Paul and they’ve all come back singing Paul’s praises and thanking me for a great recommendation!

If you’re a business owner or someone who wants to protect their family from the bad things in life, Paul is your guy!

Thanks again Paul and the team, really appreciate all your help.

So much to gain from chatting to Paul

EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU ARE FINANCIALLY SOUND AND HAVE GOOD ADVISORS, CHAT WITH HIM - THERE'S NOTHING TO LOSE, BUT MORE TO GAIN = INSIGHT AND KNOWLEDGE ON YOUR COVER.

Everyone should get in touch with Paul McGowan for a no-obligation look at finances & protection, be that wills, mortgage protection, life assurance or income protection.

In a short call, he educated and impressed in equal measures. I have had some great advisors over the years but he pointed out a good few flaws in my current plans. He tailored my options to my budget and really hit home the fundamentals of protection and the priorities I should have.

Awesome guy, clever and caring and ultimately so good at his job none of us should go without at least a chat with him.

Who knows what's around the corner?

Talk about being grateful for having your financial shizzle together...many thanks to Paul McGowan and How Financial Review. I kept putting off sorting out income protection but after gentle reminders from Paul, I eventually took out a policy. Just a few months later, I had a breast cancer scare. Boy was I grateful I'd stopped batting things to the right and taken action.

Thankfully, in my case I got the all clear, having a good quality policy in place took a huge weight off my mind as I waited for the biopsy results. Now I'm going back to Paul to see what else I can put in place as my small company grows.

Thanks Paul for your excellent service and for being there to remind me how important these kind of products are, because you just never know what life's going to throw at you.

Get protected and call Paul

I have had several meetings with Paul and each time we meet I learn something new.
He certainly knows his stuff and is passionate about doing the right thing and helping as many people that he can.
With decades of experience too it’s a no brainer going to see or talk with him.

I arranged for Paul to have a meeting with my mum and dad about sorting out a Will, he is so down to earth and they understood everything with ease.

He took the time to work out what would be the best option and what would be second best. Giving examples as he talked them through their options so that they could fully understand the options open to them.

No pressure to sign anything or book anything, he has given them time to think and digest all the information ready to move forward and give themselves and us (their daughters) peace of mind knowing everything is sorted.

Thank you Paul
I highly recommend a chat with him, give yourself and your loved ones peace of mind

Wills, Trusts & LPAs made easy!

Paul recently helped me out with my Wills, Trusts and LPA's. He gave me the advice i was after and was never once pushy. The online system he has is superb and simple to use. I am 100% happy with my experience using Paula and his services and will not hesitate to recommend him to my network.
