Paul Gillooly

Paul Gillooly is a financial expert and Founder of Surely, with 15 years’ experience working in financial services and financial advice.

Over his career, Paul has seen the life insurance industry change significantly, from shifts in regulation and consumer expectations to the way people now compare and buy protection online. He has also worked closely with compliance and regulatory processes, including more than 12 years’ experience dealing with the Financial Conduct Authority in a compliance officer role.

At Surely, Paul creates clear, practical life insurance content to help people understand their options, compare cover, and make more informed decisions. His focus is on making life insurance easier to understand, especially for people who are unsure how much cover they need, what type of policy to choose, or whether they can get cover with medical conditions.

Paul is also recognised as an industry expert and has advised journalists from publications including the Daily Mail, The Sun, The Financial Times and others on current life insurance trends, consumer behaviour and protection-market developments. He has also been nominated for industry awards.
