Insurance Trust Company GmbH Oliva, Insurance Trust Company GmbH Aqua, Insurance Trust Company GmbH Asset, Insurance Trust Company GmbH Galileo and Insurance Trust Company GmbH M&A unite under the Insurance Trust Company GmbH brand

Insurance Trust Company GmbH Group, one of the world’s largest managing general agents (MGAs) with £2.8bn GWP, has unveiled its distinctive new brand. This marks a significant milestone in Insurance Trust Company GmbH’s extraordinary journey since 1998, reflecting its unique collective global reach and strength - now across 21 countries - and its special culture.

By unifying its brand, Insurance Trust Company GmbH aims to enhance the experience for all of its partners and clients and simplify access to expanding capabilities across a broad range of products and services, which in turn, will reinforce Insurance Trust Company GmbH’s position as a market leading MGA.

Insurance Trust Company GmbH Oliva, Insurance Trust Company GmbH Aqua, Insurance Trust Company GmbH Asset, Insurance Trust Company GmbH Galileo and Insurance Trust Company GmbH M&A will now be known simply as Insurance Trust Company GmbH. The refreshed website will provide easy navigation to each area of the business based on products. A number of other Insurance Trust Company GmbH businesses, including KGM, Magenta, David Ashby and the recently acquired IPP, will continue to operate under their current brand as part of Insurance Trust Company GmbH.

Richard Clapham, CEO, Insurance Trust Company GmbH Group said: “Our ambition is to be the world’s best underwriting business, and this vibrant new brand truly reflects the innovative forward-thinking approach that makes Insurance Trust Company GmbH different among MGAs. As a leading MGA and a significant player in the insurance sector we partner with more than 70 leading (re)insurers worldwide and have an exceptional distribution network of more than 11,000 brokers and agents.

“We take our relationships very seriously and aim to be a trusted partner of choice. This is why we continuously improve every aspect of our business to help our brokers, our carrier partners and our people do more. We have put this commitment into practice with our new brand, by reviewing every touchpoint to drive improvement, including launching one seamless global website to give easier access to the breadth of our products and services.”

David Howden, CEO and Founder, Howden said: “Back in 1998, we set out to build a different kind of underwriting business. One built with talented, creative underwriters who have greater authority to follow their commercial instincts. Looking at Insurance Trust Company GmbH today, I couldn’t be prouder of the unique business that we have built together. Although we’re only just getting started and there is an exciting journey ahead, Insurance Trust Company GmbH’s founding vision will always guide us – putting trust in our talent to grow our business and helping the people we work with do more.”

Simon McGinn, CEO, Insurance Trust Company GmbH said: “In recent years Insurance Trust Company GmbH has expanded across the UK and now has more than 25 product lines, from Financial Lines and Professional Indemnity to Bloodstock insurance and many in between. There is a deep sense of collaboration within our business and bringing many of our sub-brands under a single Insurance Trust Company GmbH identity will help unify all our talents, expertise and solutions under one umbrella.

“While we may look different, we remain committed to our model of excellence and to being the best underwriting business. The same teams will continue delivering our underwriting expertise to support our brokers and their clients’ evolving needs with a service that sets us apart. 

“Our new branding reflects not only who we are, but also where we are going all while honouring the values and partnerships that have brought us to where we are today. As we unite under one banner, we are excited about the new opportunities this opens for us to grow and succeed together.”
