About Wright Way Insurance

We have lived what life threw at us and how we not only came through it with the help of an Insurance Claim but what we learnt along the way.

Our Story

From Experience to Expertise

David founded Wright Way in 2015 with almost 40 years of insurance experience. After suffering strokes and heart attacks, David has now rehabilitated so well that he came out of medical retirement to work part time as he remains an invaluable source of wisdom and experience.

Our journey took an unexpected turn when David suffered a stroke and subsequent heart attacks, leaving him totally and permanently disabled. This life-changing event transformed us from insurance advisers to insurance claimants, giving us unique insight into the importance of proper coverage.

Today, we use our lived experience to help protect others against life's uncertainties. We understand the devastating effects that health and trauma can bring to a family - not just physically, emotionally and spiritually, but also financially.

What Makes Us Different

Our Unique Perspective

We don't just sell insurance - we've lived through what proper insurance coverage can mean for a family facing crisis.

Lived Experience

We've experienced firsthand the challenges that health crises bring. This gives us a unique understanding of what really matters when choosing insurance coverage.

Trust & Transparency

We believe in honest, transparent advice. Having been through the claims process ourselves, we know exactly what to look for in a policy and what really matters.

Family Protection

We understand that everyone who values protection of their loved ones' health and financial needs deserves the right coverage for their unique situation.
