Direct’s new Novus MGA will focus on warranty and affinity business
Direct Insurance Group has launched a specialist warranty and affinity MGA, Novus Underwriting.
The specialist Lloyd’s broker and wholesaler said Novus will primarily write extended warranty and affinity (re)insurance business on a worldwide basis, underwritten by a panel of A-rated carriers.
Novus will operate from its London Headquarters, in addition to offices in Liechtenstein and Miami and will initially write business for new and used car extended warranty; GAP insurance; brown and white goods extended warranty; and affinity products and schemes.
Novus chief executive David Bearman said: “We have a very experienced team of people who are considered market leaders in their specialist classes of businesses and who have a proven track record of underwriting profitable accounts.”
He said Novus has already agreed a number of deals that will see its GWP pass €50m in the next two years, and reach €250m in five years.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
