Mike has recently assisted myself and my family, to secure a renewal of a private health policy with some associated complications. Safe to say, Mike was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, prompt and executed his service efficiently, with friendly gusto. He has saved our family from some extortionate premiums and put my mind at rest with regards to effective health protection for us. Cannot recommend him more. Thanks Mike.
