13th October 2025
In this episode of MGAA Conversations, host Mike Keating speaks with Ryan Gill, CEO of Bspoke Group, about Bspoke’s acquisition by NFP and his vision for the company’s next chapter.
Together, Mike and Ryan delve into:
- Operating “independent but connected” under new ownership
- Maintaining discipline and focus during market softening
- Diversification by design and growth strategies for MGAs
- The evolving role of AI and automation to drive efficiency and value
Here are some insights from Ryan:
- “Independent but connected — that’s how we’ll run under NFP.”
- “We will not chase prices down. Discipline is critical through the cycle.”
- “Diversification isn’t accidental — we built Bspoke that way by design.”
- “A lot of what people call AI is actually just automation. We’re taking a measured, sustainable approach.”
- “AI should remove the noise so our people can focus on higher-value work.”
