Who we are

Award-winners with a commitment to exceptional service 

Hooray Health & Protection is an award-winning employee benefits broker which specialises in helping start-ups and SMEs better look after their people. Our service is provided FREE of charge, our advice is given in your best interests, and we’re always happy to help, however complex or simple the query.

Hooray's history

Hooray Health & Protection launched due to a growing frustration with the typical insurance industry set-up. Our founders hated how the health and protection industry focused solely on large corporate clients with big fees while no one was providing solutions for the SME marketplace.

Realising the industry wasn’t changing, and wasn’t going to on its own, our founders decided to be the change they wanted to see. And so Hooray Health & Protection was born.

Fast-forward, our vision has become reality. Hooray are an established team of experts, providing honest advice at a reasonable price, whilst keeping the subject as simple as possible.
