At Merrington Financial, we make life insurance simple, affordable, and reliable, so your loved ones are always protected. In life’s uncertain moments, we help your family feel secure, supported, and cared for.
We are a company that has built our reputation on working within your budget. We support clients with a wide range of cover requirements and tailor a plan specifically to meet your financial
needs. You may be surprised at just how affordable the right protection can be.
When a child becomes seriously ill, the impact on a family’s finances can be significant. You may need to take time off work, travel long distances for hospital appointments,
cover accommodation costs, and manage additional day-to-day expenses. It’s also important to consider whether your employer would continue paying you during this period — and if you’re self-employed, the financial pressure can be even greater. Having the right protection in place provides vital support when you need it most.
The younger you are when you put cover in place, the more affordable it is. Premiums are significantly lower in your twenties, and many people are surprised at how inexpensive protection can be at that age. As you get older, the cost naturally increases because the likelihood of claiming becomes higher.
The first thing we ask clients is, what cover do you already have? In most cases, people aren’t entirely sure what they arranged in the past. Life changes quickly — you may have remortgaged several times, had more children, changed jobs, or even paid a lump sum off your mortgage after receiving an inheritance, which might mean you now need less cover. There are countless life events that can alter your protection needs. This is why it’s essential to review your policies every two to three years to ensure they still align with your circumstances.
Helen Gorman – Protection Specialist
With over 26 years in the insurance industry, I am passionate about helping families protect what matters most. I believe life insurance is a vital safety net for the people you love — providing peace of mind when it’s needed most.
Outside of work, I enjoy long walks with my dog Jasper, good food, holidays, online shopping, and the occasional bottomless brunch 🥂🐾.
I’ve been married to Helen for 25 years, and we have two grown-up boys who we absolutely adore. We’re also excitedly expecting our first granddaughter in March!
With 23 years in the insurance industry, I’ve seen it all and am deeply passionate about protecting families. Having witnessed the devastating impact of losing a parent, I’m driven to put the best protection packages in place for my clients.
In my free time, I love cooking for the family, tending to my allotment (fruit, vegetables, and, yes, plenty of weeds!), and cheering on Middlesbrough FC — a passion I’ve had for 47 years.
