SPECIALIST healthcare broker Independent Healthcare Solutions (IHS) is celebrating after posting profits up by 12 per cent year on year,
The firm - the north's only specialist healthcare broker - opened new offices in Moira in 2013 on the back of the growth.
The increase in profits has been boosted with the addition of new clients including Abbey Insurance, Powerteam NI, Value Cabs, Oasis Travel, People 1st, Shrader and RTU.
IHS managing director Audrey Spence, pictured, said the success was down to the company's "specialist local knowledge".
"As the only independently owned healthcare broker in Northern Ireland, we are uniquely placed to offer our clients advice based on expert knowledge of the local market," she said.
"This knowledge combined with the fact that we are totally independent and specialise only in private health-care means that we have access to the best deals for our clients and the ability to save them a lot of money.
"We offer our clients a customer experience that cannot be matched by our competitors. So much so in fact that I'm proud to say we have never lost a client to another broker or direct sales force on price or service.
IHS was established in and offers specialist and independent advice across a number of areas including group and individual medical insurance, cash plans, new and existing schemes, competitive renewals, discounted corporate schemes and assistance in removing health exclusion issues.
