Motor insurer Markerstudy has agreed to provide capacity to a new high net worth (HNW) managing general agency called Infinity Agency.

The new agency’s product, Infinity Motor, is a bespoke rated insurance offering for the HNW and specialist market in the UK and European Union.

Infinity was formed by Michael Ward (pictured) and John Finnigan. Ward, the company’s managing director, previously founded a specialist HNW motor broker.

Finnigan, Infinity’s underwriting director, has a background in underwriting motor and personal lines products and helped develop a HNW motor account at one of the world’s leading HNW insurers.

The operation will have locations in both Manchester and central London.

Markerstudy group underwriting director Gary Humphreys said: “We’ve worked with Michael in the past and we are pleased to be in a position to support this new entrant in the HNW marketplace. In addition to capacity, Markerstudy Group is providing claims, logistical and advisory support.”
