Revenue of £24.9m marks digital MGA’s 18th year of double-digit growth

Digital MGA Ripe has posted a revenue of £24.9m for 2025, meaning that the firm has now seen 18 consecutive years of double-digit growth in its revenue figures.

The results – released today (13 July 2026) and covering the full year to 31 December 2025 – revealed that Ripe’s revenue climbed 20.9%, or £4.3m, since its 2024 posting of £20.6m.

The Manchester-based firm partially attributed its performance to a growth in policyholders – up 15% to 430,000 – following the April 2025 acquisition of boat insurance specialist GJW Direct and the December 2025 purchase of holiday home specialist Schofields Insurance.

Ripe also underwent a series of leadership changes, appointing a new chief underwriting officer, Sean Carney, and new chief operating officer, Jon Fell, amid a move to a new 150-capacity office at One Stockport Exchange.

Focus on efficiency

Rob Styring, chief financial officer at Ripe, said: “We delivered another year of strong, profitable growth in 2025, with revenue increasing to nearly £25m and margins maintained through a continued focus on efficiency. This performance reflects the strength of our digital, data-led model, disciplined underwriting and a relentless focus on cost efficiency.

“We have also demonstrated continued execution against our M&A strategy, successfully integrating GJW Direct, with Schofields progressing as planned.”

He continued: “Our proprietary technology continues to support scalable growth and efficient operations across the group and we are investing further in our data capabilities and the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance underwriting precision, customer experience and operational efficiency.

“We entered 2026 with strong momentum, forecasting continued growth in line with recent years, further supported by a healthy pipeline of acquisition opportunities.”
