Moving to the Algarve permanently in 2019 still hasn’t dulled the shine for Farrell. “I see Portugal as home now and I never thought I would say that, coming from Ireland.”Farrell grew up as one of eight children in a “large, opinionated Catholic family” in picturesque Rostrevor, Co Down.
“I thought, Oh my God, this is fantastic, this is what I want to do. For me, it was very personal: you were supporting or helping families make the best of whatever money was available to them.” Legislative changes coupled with Brexit made it easy for her to decide to walk away from running a business. “The compliance changed and everything was becoming very onerous”
“People talk about salary, and I don’t think I really gave much thought to not having a salary. I knew I could create one.” However, the plan to “take it easy” on a pool lounger lasted “all of two minutes”, and before long she found herself as a partner at Blevins Frank and as chairwoman of the Ireland Portuguese Network.She also established a local women’s business network with her next seminar on balance and wellness for women juggling a career and family, scheduled for September. “I’m not sure the word ‘retire’ ever really came into it,” she says.
Aside from financial planning, Farrell has found herself becoming a one-stop shop for British and Irish expats moving to the Algarve.
