The firm ’launches at a time of considerable geopolitical instability’, says managing director
A new MGA that specialises in the marine hull war risks spot breach sector has been launched.
Called Ambrey Global Specialty (AGS), the MGA offers data and insights that support insurers’ breach risk programmes.
AGS will act as a subsidiary of parent company Ambrey, which provides risk management services to the global maritime industry.
Professional services firm Davies helped facilitate the launch of the firm, with it being hosted on the Davies MGA Services platform.
The platform will provide a range of support as the MGA looks to grow.
Nick Maddalena, managing director at AGS, said: “AGS launches at a time of considerable geopolitical instability and we are delighted to partner with Davies to further assist clients in navigating the world’s most volatile areas safely.”
