Organised my life assurance with Lisa Gilsenan after being refused by online searching due to my medical history. After chatting with Lisa, many emails and messages later she found an excellent deal that offered me cover as soon as I needed it. Lisa was both professional and easy to talk to which made the process of discussing medical history’s and financial information so much easier. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance with financial protection. Many thanks for all your help.

Verified BuyerPaul corcoran I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work in securing a mortgage for us and for guiding us through the process from step one. Paul was incredibly patient with my many questions and was always happy to help whenever I had uncertainties. He not only managed to find me a specialist mortgage but also provided advice on other matters that have been enormously helpful.
