KGM, DUAL UK’s specialist motor MGA, has renewed its long-term capacity agreement with Zurich in a deal exceeding £2 billion in gross written premium (GWP) over the next five years.
The additional commitment builds on the previous deal in 2022, taking the partnership to a total of nine years. This renewal aligns with the MGA’s long-term ambitious growth plans, reinforces both organisations’ commitment to sustainable growth, and brings broker certainty to KGM’s proposition.
The longevity of this renewal provides strong stability while offering brokers further confidence in KGM’s proposition and growth appetite, explained the MGA.
In 2025, KGM wrote approximately £298 million of GWP and has plans to grow to over £500 million by 2030, targeting growth in all established classes of business and working with brokers to explore new opportunities.
Ciaran Astin, KGM Managing Director and Chief Personal Lines Officer, DUAL UK, commented, “Building on our long-standing relationship with Zurich, this renewal is excellent news for our brokers and their customers, and reflects both the strength of our proposition and the specialist expertise of our teams. The scale of Zurich’s commitment to KGM over almost a decade is a testament to the ongoing success of our partnership.”
He continued, “Since 2022, when the original deal commenced, Zurich’s strong backing for our vision and confidence in our specialist underwriting, extensive distribution network and high levels of service, has allowed our relationship to flourish. Zurich’s continued support gives us confidence to accelerate investment in the long-term capabilities of our business, underpinning our sustainable growth plans and ultimately benefiting both our brokers and customers.
“KGM, which includes the Eridge and aurum brands, stands out in the market, with an established and trusted reputation for being fast, friendly, and flexible. Our award-winning specialist underwriting teams take a tailored approach, which brokers have consistently recognised.”
David Nichols, Head of Retail, Zurich, added, “We’re delighted to renew our partnership with KGM for another five years. Our commitment with KGM is a testament to our approach of building long-term partnerships through our shared values. At Zurich, we continue to build strong partnerships that leverage our expertise with the underwriting-led set of capabilities of KGM to deliver a specialised offering that meets the changing needs of brokers and clients in non-standard personal lines.”
