Sparrow Insurances has a great history of success and growth across Leinster and Munster, operating out of offices in Portlaoise, Blanchardstown, Nenagh and Thurles.
From the outset, the aim of Sparrow Insurances has been to provide outstanding customer service to their clients, offering a full range of commercial and personal insurance products as well as life, pensions and investment products. Over the years, Sparrow Insurances has established a strong brand and excellent reputation as a trusted advisor with a team of talented, experienced and highly motivated professionals who pride themselves on looking after their clients first and foremost.

And what really tops everything off is that their culture and ethos perfectly align with Aston Lark, making them a fantastic addition.
“We look forward to supporting further growth and success for everyone at Sparrow Insurances, further enhanced as part of Howden. We continue to build momentum in Ireland, and this acquisition is another boost to our ambition of becoming Ireland’s leading independent insurance broker.”
Michael Sparrow, Sparrow Insurances Limited Managing Director, added: “With the fast-changing landscape within the broker market, Eilish and I, having considered all the options, chose Aston Lark, now part of the Howden Broking Group, as the best home for our business.
