“I recently took out income and mortgage protection with Waddle Insurance

And I couldn’t be happier with how smooth and professional the entire process was. The team made everything clear from the start. They walked me through the policy options and helped me understand what I was covered for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing that if something unexpected happens, my income and home are protected.”

Real People. Real Claims. Real Support

From a stroll in the park to life on ice: Dave’s story

When a simple dog walk turned into a career-ending injury, things could have spiralled fast - no sick pay, no income, no Plan B. But one smart conversation with Waddle changed everything. From day one to diagnosis, we were there - protecting their income, guiding their claims, and keeping life afloat.

Discover how Waddle’s advice and claims support helped turn a crisis into calm.

Looking out for the long game

Graham came to us for a second opinion on his protection. We uncovered a 17-year-old policy with unbeatable cover - one worth holding onto. Two years later, after a stroke, that legacy policy paid out £75,000 when he needed it most. The right advice. At the right time. For all the right reasons.

Real Protection in a crisis

Twelve outdated policies. No Trusts. Then - stroke, fracture, and later, bereavement. Because Waddle restructured everything, payouts were fast, probate was bypassed, and the cover actually worked when it mattered most.

Read Nuno’s story

Nuno, our resident AI engineer, was diagnosed with “Algorithm Overload” - a condition brought on by too many neural networks and not enough fresh air. Waddle helped Nuno find the right cover for unexpected robot uprisings and accidental sentience. Now, Nuno feels supported, and his code is 42% more bug-free.

No jargon, no scare tactics

Has been super hands on and patient with all of my questions and queries. I recommend their team! They are super nice and very accommodating too. They really took their time and made sure that I understand everything. The only thing was that it took them quite a long time to finish more than what was agreed on and I was working at that time so had to schedule another time to continue the call. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. Thank you team!”

“Waddle have been so helpful from start to finish

With the whole process. I wouldn’t have had a clue where to start if they didn’t contact me. So many things in my life had changed since I first took an insurance policy out 6 years ago and I had no idea that I needed to update things if Waddle didn’t ring to tell me.

Georgia helped me with everything and was super patient the whole time despite it taking a long time to find another insurance provider who would accommodate my change of circumstances and health. I can’t thank her enough. All the people I have spoken to from Waddle have been pleasant and very helpful. I also had a phone call this morning to guide me in filling out the forms for my insurance which again the lady was lovely and patient and explained everything clearly to me. Thank you.”
