Managing director Glen Smith said: “Businesses as well as individuals turn to us for impartial and independent advice. Nigel brings a lot of knowledge about the products in the market place and this will be extremely helpful to new customers who are baffled by the vast array of packages available.

“During such difficult times businesses may look to cut back and cancel their insurance they can potentially reduce their premiums or at least look to cap costs for the next 12 months. We're here to help them do just that.”

Healthcare Partners offers advice to both businesses and individual clients across a breadth of products including private medical insurance, travel insurance, dental insurance, income protection, critical illness cover, key man insurance and employee assistance programmes.
