UK-based MGA brands Integra Insurance Solutions and Congregational Insurance Solutions have partnered with Hadron, a multinational specialty insurer dedicated to modernizing the licensing market, to provide underwriting capabilities for their respective home and church insurance plans.
Both companies are part of the Integra Group, one of the world’s leading reinsurance groups.
Integra Insurance Solutions provides UK home insurance through a diversified distribution model, working with insurance partners and affiliates, while also offering its own home insurance products Nidus and Nidus Plus to brokers.
Speed to market and underwriting flexibility were key considerations in Integra’s selection criteria, while Hadron’s ability to effectively build and deploy capacity within a clear governance framework gives both parties confidence in the long-term viability of the arrangement.
Congregational Insurance Solutions is an independent, specialist MGA dedicated to servicing churches across the UK. It provides tailored insurance solutions, risk management support and expertise to help protect places of worship and the communities they serve.
The partnership represents a four-year arrangement with a total written premium capacity of £500 million.
Hadron applies true underwriting oversight to every project it writes and provides partners and reinsurers with near real-time portfolio visibility through Collider, its proprietary decision intelligence platform.
Colin Johnson, chief executive of Hadron International, said: “Integra has built one of the strongest home insurance platforms in the UK market, while Congregational has been serving churches and places of worship with dedication and integrity for over a century.
“The UK licensing market does not always provide the underwriting partners that MGAs of this caliber deserve. Hadron aims to change this.”
Martin Cox, Group CEO of Integra Group, added: “We are delighted to be working with Hadron across both personal lines and commercial lines MGAs as we enter the next stage of our strategic journey. Deep underwriting expertise, a purpose-built technology-led business model and a progressive approach to the licensed market make Hadron an excellent partner for our long-term plans.”
