What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Hard-to-place home cover and complex commercial portfolios are the two areas that surface most often in feedback on this Newcastle West brokerage, which customers describe as a genuine family operation. Several reviewers note that intricate business insurance needs have been handled with a breadth of knowledge that let them consolidate company and personal policies under one roof.

Difficult risks come up repeatedly: one client with an unusual request that other brokers had declined credits Edward with persisting until a workable arrangement was found, describing his service as exemplary and his tenacity appreciated. Property that is not straightforward to insure is another recurring theme, with reviewers saying the team took real time to understand the detail before presenting options rather than treating the matter as a simple transaction. Communication is praised consistently, particularly the ease of asking questions and the sense that staff remain available well after a policy is placed.

Friendliness runs through the accounts too, with the welcome described as warm and the manner genuine rather than sales-driven. The mix of professionalism and personal attention is what clients single out, along with continuity of relationships built over many years of cover. Long-standing commercial clients and first-time home buyers alike describe the same experience of being listened to and looked after.

I was trying to get house insurance for a property that’s not the easiest to insure, and they genuinely took the time to understand the details and find the best possible options. It didn’t feel like just another transaction—there was a real personal touch, and I felt like they truly cared about helping me, not just selling a policy. So refreshing to deal with a business that combines professionalism with genuine empathy. Highly recommend!

I've been with R & M Insurance since 2015. They are an excellent family business that has supported me in my business insurance needs. Due to their breadth of skills and knowledge, I also had them take over and manage the families business insurance - which is complex. They are easy to talk to, friendly and always available to answer questions I've had about my insurance. Insurance is such a sensitive subject, and if you're looking for a good, honest, trustworthy company to support you in your insurance needs, large or small, I highly recommend you talk to Jared and the team.

I have a very unusual insurance request that no other broker could assist me with - including my own whom I rate highly. Edward has been unbelievably helpful when others have turned me away and has successfully organised a solution. His customer service is exemplary and I appreciate his tenacity! Thank you!
