Paul Shannon

Paul Shannon

Paul Shannon

Senior Mortgage & Insurance Advisor

  

With early aspirations to become a PE Teacher, Paul took a gap year in 2010 while waiting for a spot to open up at Leeds University. Like every 20-year-old he needed money, so he joined Halifax and became a banker. (Yes, with a ‘b’!) 


Enjoying life with money in his pockets, the idea of returning to education quickly disappeared. However, a new life in the financial industry beckoned and Paul has never looked back.


After progressing through different banking roles over the next four years, Paul passed the CeMap exams he needed to become a mortgage advisor. Having successfully achieved his goals within the bank, he once again decided to further his career and move into the independent world.

 Today, Paul’s goal is to make a difference to the lives of people in Northern Ireland. He is determined to remove the corporate jargon from mortgage and insurance advice, and to beat the banks by saving people money.    


At Home

  

Paul is married to Zoe and they live in Ballyhackamore. When he’s not working, he is either in the gym, playing football for his local club Agapé, or eating out with his wife. He loves to travel and has most recently visited Thailand, Marrakesh, Las Vegas, LA and Cancun. The goal for 2021 is Miami.
