I rang McCarthy Insurance looking for a quote for health insurance .I spoke with Alan Clearly, he was SO helpful. Explained everything clearly, answered all my questions. I was with one Health Insurer for years so decided to " shop around" felt quite overwhelmed with all information out there. Decided to ring a broker and was I impressed with Alans knowledge , really explained in understandable terms for me. Went through each Health Insurance Company thoroughly. I decided to go through all information received comparing Health Insurers , rang Alan back a few more times with questions, he was v helpful and v professional. Thank you Alan.

I found the company to be easily accessible, efficient & helpful. Alan Cleary simplified the minefield that is Health Insurance & explained everything in a straightforward manner. I would also feel quite comfortable liaising with him in the future regarding claims or cover, nothing was too much trouble for him. All in all a great and seamless experience

Excellent Customer Service
Excellent communication and very good quotes. Did all the work and made it easy to make a decision.
Epitome of Customer Service
I do not usually leave reviews but on this occasion it is warranted.
Engaged with a few companies prior to contacting McCarthy Group and had no expectations in this case.
Initial discussions were with staff member Alan, where our requirements were highlighted.
He genuinely exceeded all expectations on his call back, fully customer centric and focused on our request; presented a range of products that aligned with our request. He provided an above par customer service and importantly we were not made to feel like a monetary statistic for the company.
Think a few companies out there could learn a thing (or two) on customer service from McCarthy group.
Credit where credit due Alan - keep up the good work!!
Practical insurance advice
Alan was really informative and gave great practical advice when it came to taking out a health insurance policy. Would definitely recommend!
