Sheridan Insurances - 'Supporting the communities we serve'

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSORS

For Sheridan Insurances, being a local insurance broker means more than simply having offices in Cavan and Navan. It means getting to know the people, families, clubs and businesses in the communities it serves and playing an active role in supporting them.

In recent times, Sheridan Insurances has supported fundraisers at St Aidan’s Comprehensive School in Cootehill, Corrin GFC and Tullyvin Musical Society, among many other local initiatives.

Managing Director Benny Sheridan is proud and delighted to support such causes.

“Education, sport, and community events give people a place to belong, build friendships and learn from the volunteers who give so much of their time,” he said.

Sheridan Insurances’ community involvement also extends to a wide range of other organisations and initiatives, while members of its own team volunteer within their communities.

Mr Sheridan said each organisation and activity contributed in its own way to the fabric of local life.

“Each brings people together in a different way, and each depends on people willing to get involved,” he said.

That same community spirit can be seen in the many family businesses operating across Cavan, many of which have been built up over generations.

Sheridan Insurances is proud to sponsor the Best Family Business category at the Anglo-Celt Cavan Business & Tourism Awards, providing an opportunity to recognise the contribution made by family-run enterprises across the county.

“Family businesses bring commitment, resilience and personal service to the region, often across generations,” said Mr Sheridan.

Personal service is also central to Sheridan Insurances’ own approach to its customers.

The company assists customers across a broad range of insurance and financial protection needs, including home insurance, liability cover, business insurance, professional indemnity, pubs, shops, health insurance, serious illness cover and financial protection. Its team aims to explain the available options in clear language, take time to listen to customers’ individual circumstances and provide support when questions arise or a claim needs to be made.

Mr Sheridan said the company’s approach was based on ensuring customers had the information they needed to make informed decisions.

“Personal service matters just as much in our own work,” he said. “We aim to give advice in clear language, take time to listen and help each person make an informed decision.”

Age Friendly at

Sheridan Insurances

Following its success in 2025, when it was awarded the Most Innovative Broker by Irish Life Health, Sheridan Insurances is continuing to develop its age-friendly and dementia-friendly approach.

The company was also shortlisted as a finalist for the Age Friendly Awards 2026.

For Sheridan Insurances, the initiative reflects an understanding that insurance can sometimes involve unfamiliar terminology, paperwork and important financial decisions.

For older customers, and particularly those living with dementia, the company believes that taking time to listen and explain information clearly can make a significant difference.

Mr Sheridan said the aim was to create an environment where customers and their families felt welcome and comfortable.

“A patient conversation and a clear explanation can make a real difference,” he said.

“We want customers and their families to feel comfortable asking questions, taking the time they need and speaking with someone who understands their concerns.”

The company’s approach to age-friendly and dementia-friendly service forms part of its wider commitment to making insurance more accessible and ensuring customers receive appropriate support throughout their relationship with the broker.

As a local business with offices in Cavan and Meath, Sheridan Insurances says its connection with the communities it serves remains central to its work.

The company also recognises the contribution made by the volunteers, organisers, clubs, schools and local businesses that help sustain community life across Cavan and beyond.

“We thank the volunteers, organisers and local businesses who contribute so much to life in Cavan and beyond,” Mr Sheridan said.

“Supporting their work and looking after the people who place their trust in us is part of what being a community broker means to Sheridan Insurances.”
