Beazley underwriter to launch new A&H MGA later this year

The Fidelis Partnership’s MGA platform Pine Walk has appointed Tim Morgan to launch a new accident and health (A&H) MGA.

The MGA is expected to launch later in 2025, targeting a portfolio of global A&H business.

Morgan will bring over 20 years of experience in the class to the role, with him most recently serving as a personal accident underwriter at Beazley.

Rinku Patel, chief executive at Pine Walk, said: “We are delighted to be able to welcome an underwriter of Morgan’s reputation to launch a new Pine Walk cell.

“The A&H market represents over £5.4bn ($7bn) of annual premium and brokers and clients are seeking partners who can insure complex risks and provide significant capacity.

“Morgan’s underwriting pedigree, relationships and track record make him the perfect fit for Fidelis and Pine Walk.”

Expansion

Launched in 2017, Pine Walk currently has 12 MGAs, with its gross written premium (GWP) growing to £696m ($900m).

The launch of the latest MGA allows Fidelis to expand into the A&H market.

“Launching into A&H complements our strategy to broaden our portfolio and follows closely the launch of Sevanta, our first casualty MGA,” Patel said.

“We look forward to going live with Pine Walk’s 13th MGA later this year.”
