About Us

M and W Insurance Brokers is passionate about providing quality insurance products delivered with honesty and integrity to ensure superb customer service and satisfaction.
M and W Insurance Brokers CC was founded in 1998 by Mark Hirst, who is still the current owner. M and W Insurance Brokers CC is a totally independent organisation, specialising in Short-Term Insurance.

Communication with our clients is what Mark is passionate about. He strongly believes in developing a good business relationship with a client and matching our clients’ needs with the best possible products in the market. We are not here to just work for our clients, we are here to offer them the best possible service. Mark believes that this passion for client service is what has made the business so successful. The best possible compliment we can be given is when one of our current clients refers their family, friends and business associates to us.
Mark believes that M and W Insurance Brokers CC has a proven track record over the last 19 years as an independent insurance broker. With this wealth of experience the company is in perfect position to accurately identify what risks the client faces in order to advise the best product that will suit their needs from our very many product suppliers.

With a wealth of knowledge in all areas of Short-Term Insurance but more specifically in Body Corporate, Heavy Commercial Trucking and Commercial Insurance, Mark believes that M and W Insurance Brokers CC is well positioned to provide excellent service within these areas of insurance.
