MGAA bolsters board with Markerstudy co-founder Humphreys

The Managing General Agents’ Association (MGAA) has appointed Gary Humphreys, group underwriting director at Markerstudy Group, as a new board director at its annual general meeting.

Humphreys is co-founder of the Markerstudy Group, a UK-based managing general agent (MGA). The group, a member of the MGAA, includes Zenith Insurance and Markerstudy Insurance Services, and recently acquired the Co-op’s underwriting business CIS General Insurance.

The MGAA also re-elected Jonathan Skinner, Pen Underwriting’s capacity director, for a further 12-month term.

Peter Staddon, the association’s managing director, said: “Gary brings a combination of entrepreneurial flair and almost 40 years of industry experience to the board. His addition brings yet more strength and depth to the association, and is, I feel, a reflection of the DNA of many of our MGA members.

“Association members write around £6bn in gross written premium in the UK annually, and represent one of the fastest growing sectors of the UK insurance industry. The MGAA exists to promote and support this growth, to drive engagement with brokers and support industry best practice.”
