About Me



This is the site and Blog of Damian Youell. I am a fully qualified financial adviser. I believe that many life insurance consumers are missing out on important and valued advice that can be gained from using an IFA.

I specialise in offering more complex policies such as business protection, relevant life policies etc. However I still believe that even for the simple term insurance policies consumers can benefit from financial advice.

Feel free to contact me. The site makes it quite easy to book and appointment, email or ring.
