HEALTH CHECK… Audrey Spence managing director of Independent HealthCare Solutions (IHS) claims Northern Ireland businesses are potentially throwing away thousands of pounds every year as a result of automatically renewing their healthcare policies. The local corporate and private health insurance broker, whose client base includes some of the province’s biggest companies such as Belfast City Airport, Donnelly Group and McAvoy Group, says many companies simply do not shop around for a better deal and IHS can reduce the cost of around 95% of all policy renewals. Established in 2002, Independent HealthCare Solutions is based in Hillsborough and offers specialist and independent advice across a number of areas including group and individual medical insurance.
