Professional, Thorough and Truly Helpful
After recently becoming self‑employed, I needed a life insurance policy to ensure my family would be looked after should the worst happen. Andrew was recommended to me — and what a great recommendation it was. He listened carefully to what I needed and found the perfect policy. Even after providing the initial quote, he continued to look at other providers to make sure I truly had the best option. I’ll be recommending him to anyone who mentions they're looking for cover.
So glad we went to Andrew.
Andrew has been amazing. He made sure we understood all of our options and helped us to choose the right steps for our situation. He’s very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We would recommend Andrew’s services to anyone that asked.
Thank you Andrew!
We recently met with Andrew to sort out our life insurance, and once again the experience was excellent.
Andrew was great from start to finish —he’s incredibly informative, patient, and clearly knows the industry inside out. He took the time to explain all of our options in a way that was easy to understand and made sure we ended up with the best deal that suited our family’s needs. What stood out the most, was that Andrew could have easily given us the first policy that came through the door, but instead went away for another week to ensure that the policy he would recommend would be the most beneficial.
This is actually the second time Andrew has helped us. The first was back in 2022, and after such a positive experience then, we didn’t hesitate to come back to him again to renew. Just like before, he made the whole process smooth, straightforward, and stress-free.
If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on finding the right protection for your family, we would highly recommend Andrew
Thanks again Andrew!

Cover for me and my family
Andrew arranged cover for me and my family, ensuring we are now covered for the right amount, at the right time. My son has medical needs and Andrew knew exactly what we needed as a family to offer us that peace of mind for whatever life throws at us. His knowledge and passion for his job shone through and I have already recommended him to friends and family.
Outstanding service from Andrew Russell!!
can’t recommend Andrew Russell highly enough. From start to finish, Andrew was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on finding the right life insurance solution for my circumstances.
He took the time to clearly explain all of my options, answered every question patiently, and made what could have been a complicated process feel straightforward and stress-free. I never felt rushed or pressured — just well advised and fully supported throughout.
Andrew’s attention to detail, responsiveness, and honest approach really set him apart. It’s clear he truly cares about protecting his clients and making sure they have the right cover in place for peace of mind.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy, efficient, and highly competent life insurance broker, Andrew Russell is the person to speak to. Excellent service all round.
Outstanding Experience!
Working with Andrew at The Protection Guy has been an outstanding experience. From the very beginning, he took the time to truly understand my medical condition and the unique challenges it brings. That level of empathy and care made me feel seen, supported, and reassured throughout the entire process.
Andrew is not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly personable. He explains everything clearly, never rushes, and makes what could feel daunting and overwhelming into something approachable. His ability to combine professionalism with genuine human connection sets him apart.
I’m so grateful for the protection and peace of mind he’s helped me secure, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for guidance with compassion at its core.
First class service!
Andrew has made dealing with the not so nice things an absolute dream! When protecting yourself against horrible things all you want is peace of mind and that’s exactly what he gave! Working for you and not the insurance companies, with your best interests at heart. Taking the time to get to know you and what you need from the insurance, you can’t ask for more. I would highly recommend Andrew to everyone and it’s nice to have a personal touch rather than speaking to a computer!
Thank you so much Andrew
100% recommend
Andrew is always super friendly & helpful. Always help us out and gets things sorted for us really easily. I would 100% recommend him to anybody!
Andrew is brilliant
Andrew was old school, what I mean is he listens and then understands what you need and who the best providers will be.
I am older in age and have a few medical issues. Struggling to get life insurance cover for my mortgage. Andrew was able to choose two companies and was able to get me a policy for my needs and health issues. Andrew kept in touch making sure all was ok and his over manner very professional.
Definitely recommend Andrew to my friends and family.
Andrew has been amazing
Andrew has been amazing, made the whole process of starting up my insurance SO easy. Lovely guy, and has been a great experience. Thanks Andrew!!
Andy was brilliant!
Andy was absolutely brilliant in helping us sort life insurance as part as our first time home purchase. He spoke with us out of your usual office hours, answered all our questions, and gave you like feeling as if you were friends and not just clients! Thanks Andy :) Hayden and Lucy
So much easier than trying to navigate the world of insurance by yourself!
We had such a great experience with Andrew as first-time buyers. He was super friendly, really knew his stuff, and made understanding all the different types of insurance so much easier — far better than trying to figure it out on our own or using a comparison site. Instead of just throwing a bunch of quotes at us, he took the time to get to know our situation and find the best options for us. He explained everything in a way that made sense, so we felt confident in what we were signing up for. Plus, his advice didn’t cost us anything! If you want honest, professional, and genuinely helpful insurance advice - reach out to Andrew before he gets too popular!
The protection guy you need
Andrew has just been amazing, we will 100% be recommending him to everyone. As first time buyers we have found the whole process a rollercoaster ride but from the moment Andrew was introduced to us we felt a sense of calm he took the time to get to know us as individuals and made sure we understood everything fully and clearly. Andrew is available whenever you need him no matter the time, he is very flexible and fitted around our schedule. If you want to speak to a friendly, down to earth and non judgmental protection guy then Andrew is your man.
Income Protection
I have a complex medical history and Andrew was respectful, understanding and managed to get me a better level of protection than i would have thought possible. He kept me informed and updated, explained everything clearly, chased on my behalf and organised everything - i just had to sit back and relax and trust that he had everything in hand, which he very much did. 100% Happy with everything!
The Protection Guy
The Protection Guy, Andrew, was a real nice fella to talk to about getting my health protection. I have had an easy process and feel confident with Andrew handling the arrangement.
Andrew was really helpful and explained…
Andrew was really helpful and explained everything so easily to us and was so patient with us, as our purchase process was not the most straight forward. Andrew helped makes things that little easier. Couldn’t thank him enough!!
Definitely recommend!
I find insurance so daunting as I’m never sure how much cover would suit me the best. Drew was great and breaking down the appropriate policies and talking through my options. He made it a much smoother process!

Trust - advise
After watching a video on Facebook, I reached out to Andrew for advice regarding a Trust in which I was a partial beneficiary that had collapsed during an administration process. His guidance and expertise were invaluable, and I greatly appreciate his professionalism and support.
No pressure and truly cares
I can't thank Andrew enough for all his help and his immense patience with me. He never once pastured me to take out insurance, instead he explained my opinions, as he knew I was going though a tough time. As a single mother of 3, I wanted to make sure my funeral was covered so my children would not have to worry when I pass. Not only did Andrew mange to offer me this piece of mind, but he went above and beyond to help me with a cover that would protect us all now as well. Complete piece of mind. Thank you so much Andrew.
Exceptional service!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Exceptional service from Andrew from the speed of response, clarity of process, excellent understanding and communication. A very professional, personable and helpful manner, listened to my questions and concerns and made sure I fully understood what was going to happen. I now have complete reassurance thanks to the protection guy!
