The debate around MGAs, insurers and broker collaboration in commercial combined insurance continues to gather momentum — and a recent Insurance Post webinar brings valuable insight from across the market.
The on‑demand session features Marc Smart, Deputy Head of London Markets at Verlingue London Markets, who joins a panel of senior industry figures to explore whether MGAs are outmanoeuvring insurers in commercial combined, and what this means for brokers and clients alike.
Marc is joined by James Ramira, Managing Director of P&C at DUAL UK, and Andy Williams, Head of Corporate Sales at Fenchurch Insurance. The discussion is moderated by Jonathan Swift, Content Director at Insurance Post, ensuring a balanced and informed debate grounded in real market experience.
Key themes explored in the webinar include:
- The evolving role of MGAs in commercial combined insurance
- Current placement challenges facing brokers and insurers
- How broker–insurer–MGA collaboration can be improved
- What better alignment across the market means for client outcomes
Drawing on practical examples from the London market, the panel discusses how underwriting appetite, speed of decision‑making and distribution models are shaping the competitive landscape - and where collaboration, rather than competition, can unlock better results.
For brokers, insurers and MGAs navigating a complex and fast‑moving commercial combined market, the conversation offers timely insight into how partnerships are evolving and what success looks like going forward.
