Our experience of this company has been…

Our experience of this company has been extremely positive. Kieran’s knowledge of directing clients to the correct life insurance policy has been first class, as is his knowledge of the administration system of medical practitioners (who are understaffed) and he continually supports your navigation through this unfamiliar territory. Kieran and his teams’ tenacity is also second to none as he works diligently to action points when life insurance companies can (in some cases rather harshly) scrutinise clients current health reports. He is really on your side, which is rather a rarity in this industry. My husband and I would thoroughly recommend this company to those seeking authentic life insurance advice; don’t delay your decision.

My husband and I recently had our joint and individual life insurances re evaluated by Fenella and are delighted with the outcome. Fenella was patient, knowledgeable and very conscientious through the whole time. The process has been stress free as Jacqueline has also helped significantly with putting the policies in to trust for us. I highly recommend the whole team.

Life Insurance Policies into Trust

Contacted by Donna advising our life insurance policy wasn't in trust and how important it was to do this. After speaking with Donna who explained the importance of having this done I was then passed to Jacqueline Gallagher to help with the process. Jackie's help and advice from the start was second to none. I now have my life insurance policies in trust and it's all thanks to Jackie. Everything was explained professionally in a way that I could understand and can't thank her enough for everything she has done for me and I now have peace of mind. Exceptional 1st class service from beginning to end and would highly recommend anyone who doesn't have their Policies in trust to contact Jacqueline Gallagher at The Insurance Helpline. Amazing service

Great service

Both myself and husband have been lucky enough to deal with Natalie, she is very friendly always easy to contact, open and honest. I have recently had to claim the critical illness policy that I had and Natalie took over and sorted everything which meant we didn’t need to stress. We recently upgrade my husband’s policy which Natalie advised us and we are very happy with the suggestions she made for him. We have renewed the policy for another 10 years. Would recommend Natalie and the company to friends and family which I have already done.

Straight forward professional advice.

Kieran, Lee and the rest of the team have been great to work with. They give really helpful and down to earth advice, always taking time to explain things clearly. They've made sure all our polices fit exactly what we need. Would definitely recommend them. Thanks as ever for your help!

Life insurance

Keiran sorted our life insurance out when we moved into our new build with a new born baby. Listened to what we required and gave us the best advice to make sure we had everything we required going forward. Down to earth guy who is so easy to get in touch with, with any questions or concerns. Any issues with missed payments etc, have been so easily resolved in understanding and reassuring manner.

Great to Deal With

Whenever I’ve tried the comparison site/online application forms thing it’s been a deeply hateful experience. These simplistic systems can’t seem to handle anything not completely aligned with their little tick boxes.
That’s why I was so pleased when I came across Kieran and the team. This is how insurance should be sorted – on a personal level with tailored advice from experienced and knowledgeable professionals. Also, the family business/small company vibe is very evident – Everyone is accessible or otherwise you get a very quick call back.
This time around, my particular thanks to Jaya for coming up with a solution to a somewhat quirky requirement I had for Landlord insurance cover.
I can genuinely recommend this company.
