Prestige Underwriting

Prestige Underwriting, an MGA specialising in non-standard risks

Prestige Underwriting is a Managing General Agent (MGA) working with a network of more than 1,300 brokers and partners. Its activity focuses on non-standard and niche products, both standard and bespoke, and it operates in three geographical markets: Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain.

The company presents itself as a partner for brokers looking to compete with direct insurers and large companies, offering a portfolio that combines standard products and tailored solutions for hard-to-place risks.

Specialisation in non-standard property and motor

The company states that it specialises in non-standard property and motor insurance. Its wide risk appetite allows it to consider cases that standard insurers reject, with the aim of enabling brokers to provide cover to more clients. In addition to non-standard cover, it offers standard home and motor insurance in Northern Ireland, providing a one-stop solution for that market.

Over 25 years of experience and awards

With more than 25 years of experience, Prestige Underwriting describes itself as an award-winning MGA that has proven its expertise in the dynamic non-standard insurance market. The company emphasises its flexible and agile approach, adapting quickly to brokers' needs and market changes, and highlights its commitment to personal service as the basis for long-term relationships.

Distribution through technology platforms

Its distribution model is evolving and is available on various SWH platforms, including Covernet, Acturis, Applied, CDL, Open GI, SSP and bespoke Polaris-based solutions. This integration makes it easier for brokers to access its product portfolio.
