Super experience from start to finish. I got help super quick, spoke to a very knowledgeable person who could help straight away. From first contact, to questions to quote to taking out cover, didn't even take 2h. Everyone I dealt with was very helpful, understanding and friendly. Prices are competitive and fair. Grainger was super helpful and friendly and everything was process super fast. I am still waiting for a call back from my actual insurance company.... I highly recommend IOMST!

IOMST Insurance has truly impressed me as a small trader! From the outset, their customer service shone through. Every interaction has been handled with care. What stands out the most is how prompt they are in answering queries. In the fast-paced world of small business, having an insurer that responds quickly and efficiently is invaluable, and IOMST + Insurance delivers on this front impeccably. It gives me real peace of mind knowing that my business is protected by such a reliable and responsive team. I would highly recommend IOMST + Insurance to all small traders looking for excellent service and genuine support! How would you Rate IOMST: 5 *****

I can't recommend Grainne and Greg highly enough. Starting out as a craft trader was overwhelming for me but when I first spoke to Grainne, she completely put my mind at ease. Both her and Greg have a wealth of knowledge on all subjects related to markets. I'm so happy to be a member of IOMST, their support is invaluable. If you need support with your craft business or insurance for markets, Grainne and Greg are the people you need!! Thanks again!!

I would like to thank you for your quick response to my application. It was lovely talking to you yesterday and especially that you were so kind and helpful and answered so many questions that were in my head which l didn't even have to ask it was like you knew exactly what l needed to know. So thank you for putting me at ease with my first ever market and will keep in mind everything you said about been approachable. I am glad l came to you and if anyone asks me about insurance for the market l will be recommending your company 100%. I maybe back sometime to ask questions especially if l am unsure. So thank you again. Have a lovely weekend.
