COLERAINE-based insurance firm MCL InsureTech is to invest £3 million in a new online-only car insurance venture ‘GetSetGo’.

It will join other company brands’its4women’ and ‘BoxyMo’, and replace the firm’s 25Plus product, which was launched back in 2008 in Ireland.

Founder and managing director Gary McClarty said the new brand will enable MCL InsureTech to compete in the mainstream car insurance arena in Northern Ireland.

“GetSetGo is launched during a time when the world has had to fast-track its familiarity with working, living and playing online during the pandemic,” he said.

“A lot of drivers have been doing many things virtually throughout the past year making a product like GetSetGo – an online only car insurance brand - a less daunting experience and something to be embraced for its convenience.

“We are confident that our product will resonate with many drivers and look forward to developing the brand and welcoming up to 50 new people to our team as we grow.”
