Niall McSharry
Protection Adviser
"The three things I love most about my job are: The opportunity to get to know clients and their families, knowing clients are better protected against some of the worst things that can happen in life and removing some of their financial worries meaning they can focus on their health and family."
Work
Niall joined the PenLife team at the beginning of 2026 as a Protection Adviser.
Niall started out in financial services as a Mortgage and Protection Advisor, moving to specialising in protection advice.
Niall helps individuals with specific protection needs, IHT planning, protecting liability or protecting their family. He also works with businesses to make sure they have the relevant cover to mitigate any interruption to their business should they experience the loss of a share holder or key person.
Rest and play
Outside of work, Niall enjoys spending time with his family, including his young son Finley and dog Penny.
He also enjoys all things horse racing. His dad used to be a jock as did his sister, who now trains from the family yard at Sheriff Hutton.
