MGA Peter Staddon -  Insurance Times

The Managing General Agents’ Association (MGAA) has appointed Peter Staddon as its first managing director.

Starting from 1 November, Staddon will drive the association’s continuing growth strategy including regional expansion, building its profile and increasing the membership base, as well as its operational aspects. 

He will work closely with the MGAA board chairman Reg Brown and Jane Comerford, the association’s general manager, in supporting and representing members’ interests.

Brown said: “Peter’s appointment represents an important milestone in the development of the association.

“Peter brings a perfect combination of skills backed by the strength of his market knowledge and an understanding of engaging with government and the regulator.

“These, combined with his direct experience in driving the development of a well-recognised and well-respected insurance industry trade association, will be vital to the MGAA.

“One particularly exciting aspect is Peter’s direct experience in building and supporting regional structures which will be invaluable in supporting our expansion plans.”

Staddon has more than 40 years’ experience in the broking and delegated authority markets and is the former head of technical services at Biba.
