MGA

As the leader of a fast-growing MGA, MDU Insurance Solutions, I’ve been really impressed with the member resources from the Managing General Agents’ Association (MGAA). Their webinars and in-person meetings have been both informative and challenging with the perfect blend of market insight and expert knowledge.

The MGAA really seems to be capturing the buzz of the booming MGA market that MDU Insurance Solutions is proud to be a part of.

The compliance support offered through the MGAA has been a key resource for us, helping us understand the intricacies of the regulations and how they apply to our specific situation.  We are grateful for the expertise and assistance provided and would not hesitate to recommend the MGAA’s services to other organisations seeking reliable and knowledgeable compliance support.

As a niche MGA, everything we do is driven to offer value and expertise to our brokers, and building strong partnerships more widely is just as important to us. MGAA membership is one of the key ways we can showcase our commitment to the sector and we are delighted to hold such a strong relationship. Over the last year, we’ve had the opportunity to participate in a huge number of events and activities on offer by the MGAA, and we see their team as true business partners.

I am delighted to positively endorse the value membership of the MGAA brings to Platinum Underwriting. Having joined the Association in 2017, the membership benefits proposition only goes from strength to strength, which is a true testament to the MGAA team not only listening to member views, but also acting in support of our business.

NBS holds its membership with the MGAA in high regard. The MGAA’s dedicated representation and advocacy for our sector have been instrumental in promoting the significance of MGAs in the insurance industry. Their commitment to shaping the future of delegated underwriting in the UK and Republic of Ireland has been invaluable. We are proud to be part of an organisation that communicates the considerable benefits of MGAs and drives best practices, which ultimately helps contribute to our growth and success.

Since joining the MGAA in June of 2022, Frost Underwriting have found great value in having on hand a knowledgeable and reliable point of contact for any queries we have submitted, in particular those relating to the Central Bank of Ireland’s regulatory and compliance requirements. Turnaround has been swift and provided with professionalism, which we have appreciated.

HIVE Underwriters are proud to be a member of the MGAA.

The association performs the essential task of representing MGAs with government and regulatory bodies as well as ensuring professional standards are maintained within the sector.

Couple these with the ever-popular collaborative events, including the showcase AGM, first-class lectures and topical discussions and it all makes for an extremely attractive and compelling case for any MGA to join such a proactive association.

The MGAA just went that extra mile yet again. The attitude and professionalism of the team is superb and you know that they will deploy all those traits and skills when responding to a member’s request for assistance or advice. On this occasion they also showed the value of the wider network of associated suppliers who they can reach out to for technical expertise. We were able to get a prompt response with valuable insight on a complex topic. Impressive and much appreciated!

Pulse Insurance decided to join the MGAA because we felt that our sector needed to raise its profile and to ensure that MGAs and wholesale brokers didn’t get squeezed between carriers, retail brokers and regulators. The MGAA has succeeded in raising awareness and reminding partners that MGAs add real value to carriers and customers alike. Training sessions are excellent and the opportunity to raise concerns with others in the same situation is incredibly useful. We definitely feel that our membership more than pays for itself.

As a start-up business, the MGAA has been an invaluable resource to Rising Edge, providing us with advice, support, and networking benefits. The training programme in particular has been an excellent addition to our staff offering. The MGAA provides a versatile platform with access to on-demand video sessions, reading resources, and live webinars in a cost-effective way that enables us to manage, track and run reports on staff training both inside and outside the MGAA – all while complying with FCA regulation. The training offered covers topics from across the insurance industry, meaning participants are able to gain a wider understanding of key market topics and trends.

As a newer entrant MGA, who offers niche products to UK insurance brokers, we engaged with the MGAA to take advantage of their understanding of the broker/MGA space, we’ve since, and in a relatively short period of time, benefitted from some fantastic events such as the recent annual conference, they’ve also been very helpful with their members from a contacts and relationship standpoint and their news/regulatory and market updates are timely and valuable. The breadth of the MGAA offering is vast and the value if strong. What a great bunch of people too!

We have been an active member of the MGAA since 2011 and fully support what they stand for, their vision, and how and what they deliver.
Membership brings tangible benefits to our business and our people through their lobbying, learning and development, engagement with regulators and key market / industry groups etc., and insights into important topics.
MGAs are a key contributor to the insurance value chain and our voice joined with the MGAA is a powerful partnership.

Having been one of the original founding members of the MGAA it has been highly rewarding to watch the MGAA grow and develop into such a highly professional, well-organised trade body.
The MGA has worked tirelessly and with great success to meet its’ core mandate to ensure that MGAA members’ value to the UK economy and the expertise that the members bring is properly recognised by UK regulators. We have found the MGA Assess to be an invaluable tool for our staff and with the MGAA’s regulatory and training support it has helped us to maintain the highest professional standards.

We have found engagement with MGAA incredibly useful to our business in keeping up to date with market developments and networking with our industry peers. We look forward to participating in all events in the coming years.

We really appreciate all of MGAA’s work within the industry both directly with us and behind the scenes. Their commitment to furthering the causes of MGA’s is inspiring and assists in elevating the sector to the top tier of the insurance market.

The various tools available to members are also invaluable to us, from conferences, market meetings, training and more.

Please continue to do what you do guys.

Although Lares has only been a member of the MGAA for a short period of time, the benefits have been clear from the outset. Networking opportunities and the frequent updates on market trends and regulation have been invaluable. The Association clearly continues to go from strength to strength, which can only assist members and the industry’s understanding of the significant part that MGA’s play within the overall insurance market.
