Founded in 1938 by Myles Kelleher, who began selling life insurance from his bicycle at just 18 years old, LHK Group has grown into a leading independent Irish firm. Today, under the leadership of Colm Kelleher, the third generation of family stewardship, we continue to balance heritage with forward-thinking innovation.

In the article, Colm talks about what makes this so special:
“We understand the challenges and opportunities SMEs face because we’ve been one ourselves for decades. That local perspective and control really resonates with clients who want a partner that knows how they operate.”

Our success is rooted in a people-first culture, investing in training, professional development, and wellbeing to ensure our team feels supported and motivated. This commitment translates into the quality of service our clients experience every day.

As an independently owned Irish business, we understand the challenges SMEs face because we’ve been one ourselves for decades. That local perspective resonates strongly with clients seeking a trusted partner who knows their world.

Innovation remains central to our growth strategy. Recent initiatives include:

• Digital upgrades to enhance client experience
• AI-powered tools to support advisers in risk assessment and claims advice
• Expanded employee benefits, including health insurance solutions
• Guidance on auto-enrolment pensions, helping businesses prepare for one of the most significant changes in decades

Despite growing to 100 employees across Dublin and Drogheda, serving over 25,000 clients, we remain true to our ethos: “Big enough to make a difference, small enough to care.”

This award is more than recognition—it’s a celebration of our heritage, independence, and commitment to shaping the future of financial services in Ireland.

Thank you to the Family Business Awards for this honour, and to our incredible team and clients who make achievements like this possible.
