Exceptional service from start to finish.I was looking for financial advice that was actually tailored for me,not just a generic product push and that is exactly what I got. The team at Hennelly Finance took the time to understand my goals,explained everything in plain English and were completely transparent with fees and options.Communication was fast, professional and I never felt pushed. I highly recommend Mike and the team.

We've been dealing with Regina Brannelly, Hennelly Finance, for a number of years. She is so wonderful to deal with. Its fantastic to feel comfortable enough with someone to just be able to ask any question that comes to mind. Her help has been invaluable and certainly keeps me stress free especially as I wouldn't be very confident with tech. Well done Regina, and many many thanks.

I had a great experience with Hennelly Finance, particularly working with Regina. She took the time to understand our family’s needs and found us a very fair price on our health insurance without any pressure. Everything was explained clearly, and the whole process was straightforward and efficient. I’d highly recommend Regina and the team to anyone looking for honest, reliable advice.

I have been dealing with Hennely Finance for many years, when I met by a chance encounter with Helena Hennely. She was such a professional at her job . Her explanations and advice had been extremely helpful so much so that I did some investments with the company.. Years on from that now her family Ruth Regina and Michael and all the staff at the company are still as professional and committed in their approach, as Helena was on that first day. Each and every one of them are very knowledgeable regarding any financial situation and will go to great lengths to explain all aspects of their financial services. What’s more they will send a synopsis of the conversation you have with so you know exactly where you stand. I would recommend Hennely Finance for all and any advice you need about health insurance, pensions and investments. It was such a relief to speak with any staff member at any time over the years. You were never rushed or felt overwhelmed with the information you were given. I would sincerely like to thank them for all the support and help I received from them over the last fifteen years or so. Mary Egan.

Many thanks to Regina Brannelly for guiding me with my Health Insurance renewal. She was incredibly patient and helpful and found me a different policy with excellent cover at a cheaper premium. Her kindness and pleasant manner made it a painless experience and I can't thank her enough. Majella King.

I was enquiring about a new health insurance policy. With so many options out there I decided to get expert advice. Regina was incredibly helpful, understanding, professional and really took the time to understand my circumstances. Highly recommend and will use the service again.

When we received our health insurance renewal notification we realised the annual cost had increased by nearly €2,000. We tried to research alternative options but found it incredibly difficult to navigate the myriad policy options. One call to Hennelly Finance and a conversation with the incredibly helpful Regina Brannelly quickly distilled down the options. We explained what our priorities were for a family of 5 and Regina using her vast experience and detailed understanding of the market very quickly found the best policy for us. I could not recommend Hennelly Finance highly enough. We would have been lost without them.
