McCarthy Insurance Group has completed a full refurbishment of its Newcastle West office, marking another milestone in the company’s long history of serving communities across Ireland.

The renovated branch, located on Bridge Street, is the group’s 16th office nationwide and forms part of its continued growth in the region.

The refurbishment comes as McCarthy Insurance Group strengthens its presence in Limerick with the recent acquisition of John Neville Insurances Ltd., based in Askeaton.

John Neville Insurances was known particularly for its expertise in horse and equestrian insurance. Its offerings included horsebox and horse lorry cover, point-to-point handlers and trainers insurance, and private horse-owner liability policies - specialist products that have served the equine community across Limerick and beyond.

With John Neville Insurances now integrated into McCarthy Insurance Group’s Newcastle West branch, customers can expect the same local service they have come to rely on, combined with the wider support and resources of McCarthy Insurance Group.

The branch now caters for the full range of McCarthy Insurance Group products, including personal insurance such as motor and home, life cover, pensions, financial planning, health insurance, farm insurance, and business insurance for companies of all sizes. This ensures customers have access to tailored advice and solutions for every stage of personal, life, and business needs under one roof.

As part of this integration, McCarthy Insurance Group is delighted to welcome new team members Kate Murray and Gillian Mortell, who join the Personal Lines team, along with Sarah Fitzgerald, who joins the branch’s Administration team.

Branch Manager Sarah Nolan said:

“We’re absolutely delighted with the positive response from the town of Newcastle West to our recent renovation, acquisition, and the arrival of new team members.”

“It’s an exciting new chapter for us, and we look forward to welcoming both familiar faces and new customers. Our dedicated local team remains committed to offering competitive premiums, trusted advice, and personalised insurance solutions that meet the needs of our community.”

Established in 1952 by Charlie and Eily McCarthy, the group has grown from a small local broker into one of Ireland’s largest insurance brokers, employing around 200 staff nationwide.

CEO of McCarthy Insurance Group Brendan Harrington said:

“This refurbishment and expansion reflect our ongoing commitment to local communities like Newcastle West. We’re proud to continue growing while keeping that strong local connection at the heart of what we do.”

The refurbishment reflects McCarthy Insurance Group’s commitment to providing local, expert insurance advice while investing in the communities it serves.
