Digital MGA expands Greater Manchester footprint with office move

UK Digital MGA Ripe has expanded its footprint in Greater Manchester with a new office at Stockport Exchange.

The specialist digital insurance provider has upgraded from a 60 seat office to a much larger workspace that can accommodate 150 staff members.

The new site features 20 meeting rooms, enhanced collaboration spaces, upgraded technology and access to Stockport train station.

Alan Thomas, chief executive at Ripe, said: “Greater Manchester has been integral to our growth from day one.

“It’s where we’ve built our underwriting expertise, scaled our digital distribution model and attracted the specialist talent that underpins our success. Relocating to Stockport Exchange marks the next phase of our development as a digital first MGA.” 

Expanded Network

Ripe becomes part of an expanding network of businesses at Stockport Exchange, which accommodates over 2,000 professionals.

Thomas added: ”At Ripe, we protect the hobbies, interests and passions that people really care about – whether that’s in their personal or professional lives.

“Stockport’s strong sporting and cultural heritage therefore makes it a fitting base for our next growth chapter, while enabling us to create high-quality roles and deepen our contribution to the region’s economic growth.”
