About Us
MPR is a specialist underwriter
of financial lines insurance
We work directly with brokers to help you navigate a complex, invisible world – the world of laws, regulations and duties that govern how individuals and organisations connect and interact.
Why we exist
Over the last twenty years, we’ve witnessed huge changes in financial lines insurance.
First, the good news
Financial lines insurance is becoming better known – and for good reason, because today these policies are more necessary than ever before. From established coverage areas like D&O Liability, to the fast-changing world of cyber liability, the policies we write are making organisations of all kinds more solid and more resilient.
We work flexibly, have the authority to make decisions without passing the buck, and our underwriting skills are always at your disposal.
But second, the bad news
The industry-wide quest for efficiency – and the resulting automation and standardisation – are taking underwriting expertise away from insurer front-lines. Technological efficiency is important, and absolutely has a place. But, we believe, not at the expense of close relationships between underwriter and broker. It’s in no-one’s interests for underwriting skills to be locked away behind layers of bureaucracy.
We set up MPR to be different. We work flexibly, have the authority to make decisions without passing the buck, and our underwriting skills are always at your disposal. What’s more, we believe in sharing knowledge and insight about financial lines as widely as possible.
Our aim? To make complex financial lines insurance a solid and accessible proposition for businesses all around Britain.
Our approach
Flexible pricing
Not all risks are standard, and not all pricing should be standardised. We are able to match the pricing to your client’s risk profile on an account-by-account basis.
So when computers say no, there’s a good chance we’ll say yes.
Flexible cover
One size doesn’t always fit all. We have the technical experience to tailor your clients’ cover according to individual circumstance. And we can take these coverage decisions quickly, without having to kick them up a large company’s chain of command.
Flexible approach
We are not bound by rigid hierarchies. Instead we’re as open as possible, giving you direct access to technical support, expert decision makers and our knowledge of financial lines. And whatever your clients’ needs, we’ll do our best to accommodate them.
What we cover
MPR has the technical experience to write a range of risks – small and large – covering a wide variety of financial lines.
And because we control what we do we can always keep our products right up to date, without having to wade through layers of bureaucracy. Over the years we’ve covered most kinds of risk. If you don’t see what you’re looking for here, please get in touch – there’s a very good chance we can help.
