Self-Employed Gas Fitter Gets Warm Feeling from Income Protection

Born Free: The Benefits of Self-Employment

Most of Adrian’s time as a gas fitter has been spent as a self-employed sole trader, which is something he wouldn’t exchange for anything.

“The freedom has got to be my favourite thing about being self-employed,” says Adrian. “Although I sometimes think that when you’re self-employed, you work even more hours than when someone else is your boss!”

That certainly seems to be the case when we caught up with Adrian; it was past 7:30pm and he’d only just sat down after getting in from work.

Putting in all of the hours he does, Adrian was pleased with the ease and speed with which Drewberry got his self employed Income Protection cover in place. He found Drewberry through an online search for Income Protection, and was soon underway.

“I spoke with a couple of Drewberry advisers and both were friendly and really on the ball,” says Adrian. “The initial application was really fast; they took me through all the details needed to get my policy in place.

“Having an adviser do the comparison and arrange the cover for me saved loads of time, so I was really happy with the process.”

Income Protection on a Budget? No Problem

Drewberry arranged Adrian’s Income Protection policy for him, placing Adrian with a well-known UK friendly society. Adrian, like many of Drewberry’s clients, had a monthly budget he wanted to stick to for his self-employed sickness insurance cover, but that was no problem for Oliver.

Like many of our clients, Adrian had a fixed budget in mind for the Income Protection cover he wanted. So we arranged a shorter-term sickness insurance policy for him to fit in with his budget – and the policy came in under his desired monthly maximum spend, despite the fact that he’s a manual worker, which can attract higher premiums.

However, Adrian’s active lifestyle and regular exercise helped bring the premiums down too, as people who take care of their health are naturally less of a risk for insurers.
