Professional, patient and helpful

After making enquiries about taking out health insurance, I spoke with Alex Wall from Howden Life and Health. She was very professional and took time to explain the details and differences between various levels of cover. She answered all questions and was very friendly and helpful

Great service

Jeremy Smith made arranging private medical insurance for me and my family so much easier than I expected. He took the time to explain all the options clearly and helped me find the right level of cover at the best possible price.

He was friendly, knowledgeable and I’d happily recommend him to anyone looking for PMI—thanks again for all your help!

Excellent Service Again

Just renewed my health insurance with Howdens help again and made a big saving, by switching supplier, on like for like cover. But that's not the point of the review. I was dealt with by Julia, and I cannot praise her enough. She was cheerful, approachable and genuinely interested in helping me. A real credit to the organisation
