Integra Insurance Solutions and Congregational Insurance Solutions, two established UK MGA brands, have today announced a partnership with Hadron, a multinational specialty carrier modernising the delegated authority market, to provide underwriting capacity across their respective home and church insurance programmes. Both businesses form part of the Integra Group, which is owned by one of the world's leading reinsurance groups.
The partnership represents a four-year, £500 million gross written premium capacity arrangement. Hadron applies genuine underwriting oversight to every programme it writes and provides partners and reinsurers with near real-time portfolio visibility through Collider, its proprietary decision intelligence platform.
Integra Insurance Solutions delivers UK home insurance through a diversified distribution model, working with insurance partners and affinities as well as providing its own home insurance products, Nidus and Nidus Plus, to brokers. The business is distributed through some of the country's best-known financial services brands. Speed to market and underwriting flexibility were central to Integra's selection criteria, and Hadron's ability to structure and deploy capacity efficiently within a clear governance framework gave both parties confidence in the long-term viability of the arrangement.
With a heritage that stretches back to 1891, Congregational Insurance Solutions Limited is a separate specialist MGA dedicated to serving churches across the UK. Built on more than 130 years of sector expertise, the business provides tailored insurance solutions, risk management support and specialist knowledge to help protect places of worship and the communities they serve.
“Integra has built one of the strongest home insurance platforms in the UK market, and Congregational has been serving churches and places of worship with dedication and integrity for over a century," said Colin Johnson, International CEO of Hadron. "The UK delegated authority market has not always given MGAs of this caliber the underwriting partner they deserve. Hadron is here to change that.”
Martin Cox, Group CEO of Integra Group added, "We are delighted to be partnering with Hadron for both our personal lines and commercial lines MGAs as we move into the next phase of our strategic journey. The depth of underwriting expertise, the purpose-built tech-led business model and the progressive approach to the delegated authority market make Hadron a fantastic partner for our long-term plans."
