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.

Huge thanks to Kieran for all his help. He firstly sorted our critical illness and life insurance, and made something complicated feel really straightforward. Recently he helped us again with home insurance and private medical insurance, and the whole process was stress free.
Kieran is always easy to contact, quick to respond, explains everything clearly, and genuinely looks out for what's best for you. Honestly can't recommend him enough!

We have used Kieran and the team at the insurance helpline for a number of years for our Life & Critical insurances.

We have always found them professional, honest and easy to deal with, they were especially good at helping us put our policies into trust and helping set up wills.

Would highly recommend, a company that cares, is honest, goes the extra mile and doesn't use pushy sales tactics and we for one will continue to use and recommend them.

Trusted, Knowledgeable, and Client-Focused Service

We started working with Fenella when we bought our first home, and at the time we had very little knowledge of how insurance worked or what we actually needed. Fenella spent hours patiently explaining everything to us — how the process works, what cover was appropriate for our circumstances, and she answered every single question we had, no matter how small or “silly” it may have seemed.

She took the time to make sure we fully understood exactly what we were signing up for and how everything would work. Fenella worked tirelessly to find us the best insurance options that suited both our needs and our budget.

As time went on, we started a family and our insurance needs changed. Fenella was immediately available, proactive, and handled all the adjustments quickly and efficiently, with minimal effort required from us.

I honestly cannot recommend this company highly enough. The communication is outstanding, and after every conversation with Fenella, you’re left feeling completely at ease and confident that you’re in the best hands.

Very friendly and pleasant company

I have been with this company for quite a few years now & have found them to be very friendly & efficient. I have been dealing with Fenella who has worked tirelessly to get me the best life & critical illness cover & also income protection which has taken a weight off my shoulders. All options were been explained properly so it was easy to understand. I would recommend this company to all of my family & friends. Being able to communicate through text & WhatsApp makes it so much easier when working hours differ greatly

Professional and very easy process

I’ve been with Kieran and the team for over 5 years and when I needed to review my policies the process couldn’t be easier. A quick initial phone call with Kieran followed up by enquiries via WhatsApp meant I could answer whilst on the go. The whole process was confirmed by email and everything fully explained. Any queries I had meant I didn’t have to wait till the next day to ring, I just sent a text and it was followed up the next morning. Overall an excellent service.
