Mullingar firm Lir Insurance was the winner of the Brokers Ireland Commercial Broker Expert at the national award ceremony held in Croke Park, Dublin, on November 17 last.

The Broker Expert Awards shine a light on excellence by recognising insurance and financial brokers who offer the highest level of professionalism, innovation, performance, and service to their clients.

Liam Carberry, president of Brokers Ireland who delivered the opening address at the event, said the role of Insurance and Financial Brokers is constantly evolving.

"In an era of digitalisation and automation, we see a growing need for the professional services offered by brokers. Good service, good product knowledge, and a professional approach to customer care are the bedrock of successful client relationships and what distinguishes the broker.

“The correlation between service quality and customer loyalty is unquestionable and underpins business growth, particularly in a service-driven industry like insurance. As we face uncertain national and global economic times, now more than ever consumers need professional guidance across their insurance and financial portfolios,” said Liam Carberry.
