Client testimonials.

Peter Ibbetson, Chairman of Small Business Banking RBS

“As a 60 year old with type 2 diabetes I assumed I’d be penalised, as has been the case with previous insurance applications. Yet HSL delivered cover for me at rates that suggested I was a fully fit 40 year old.  They were empathetic, efficient and professional.”

Stephen Moss CBE, Chairman of Bibendum Wines and Springboard Charity

“I have found HSL Assured to be extremely professional – they really understand their area of the insurance market and what I liked was their ability to think outside the box and find solutions that worked well commercially as well as delivering the required cover.”

Andrew Harting, CEO, HWM Aston Martin

“HSL provides an end to end custom life assurance solution.  From establishing the right product, arranging health checks, testing the market and delivering the right product at an attractive price, they offered a courteous, discreet and competitive service.”

Michael Simmonds, Partner, Risk Capital Partners

“We use HSL because they take control of the process. We are most likely to get the lowest premium and stand the best chance of covering specific risks. They are a professional agency and earn their fee.”
