MGAA appoints three insurance bosses to board following ‘significant’ growth

The Managing General Agents’ Association (MGAA) has elected three more insurance bosses to its board after seeing “significant” growth over the last year.

The new members, who were confirmed during the association’s annual general meeting at Lloyd’s, include Ian Cook, managing director of MX Underwriting, Daniel Berry, chief underwriting officer at Brown and Brown Europe, and Paul Brady, market oversight counsel at Lloyd’s.

MGAA chief executive Mike Keating said their knowledge of the insurance space would be “invaluable” as the association looks to continue growing in 2024.

“We’re delighted to welcome Ian, Daniel and Paul to the MGAA board,” Keating said.

“I have no doubt that their wealth of combined experience from across the MGA sector will be invaluable as we look to build upon a hugely successful 2023.”

Growth

This came after the association welcomed its 400^th member last year, while seeing record attendances at its 2023 annual conference.

It also expanded its membership package to include the association’s specialist diversity, equity and inclusion webinar series.

For 2024, the MGAA plans to enhance the compliance and regulatory support it provides for members, as well as improve their experience with a new website.

“Last year, it was fantastic to see so many of our members attending our events and benefitting from the programmes that we have in place to support the growth of the MGA sector as a whole,” Keating said.

”Looking forward to the rest of 2024, as always, we’re hugely excited to be developing that support further, finding new ways to better serve our membership.”
