MGAA hires former MS Amlin/Canopius exec to boost growth

The UK’s  Managing General Agents’ Association (MGAA) has appointed Tim Richards (pictured) to the newly created role of technical services manager as it leverages its growth and development strategy to becoming the “third force” on the UK insurance market.

Tim will head up the association’s drive to build its influence by growing membership, developing, and driving forward technical content and events, and “pro-actively engaging with governing and industry bodies.”

Tim brings over 25 years’ insurance market experience following his most recent post as a caring professions underwriter at Towergate Insurance Brokers. He was previously High Net Worth underwriter at MS Amlin, having also held household underwriting roles at Canopius Managing Agents and Equity Red Star. Prior to that he worked for Willis and Marsh.

MGAA’s CEO Mike Keating commented: “The  MGAA sector is growing rapidly in both size and importance to UK plc, writing over £6 billion in GWP a year and providing essential and often specialist cover.

“Richard’s appointment is directly related to membership feedback from our last comprehensive survey and compliments our 3-year vision to have the  MGAA recognised as the Third Force within the UK general insurance market. He will play a pivotal role in developing relevant technical content for the benefit of all MGA community stakeholders.”
