Subscribe MGA launches in London, offering Financial Lines insurance backed by Lloyd’s
London | 3rd November 2025: Acies MGU (Acies), a technology and data-driven Managing General Underwriter (MGU), has launched its latest underwriting agency, Subscribe MGA (Subscribe). Subscribe is a Lloyd’s-backed MGA specialising in financial lines insurance including Professional Indemnity, Management Liability, and Directors and Officers (D&O) coverage. The business is positioned to serve both UK and international markets with a strong focus on the SME and Mid Corporate sectors.
Subscribe is led by Director of Underwriting, Rob McKay, an experienced UK and international financial lines underwriter and former Head of Professional Indemnity, London Market for Manchester Underwriting Management Ltd. McKay is joined by a team of highly respected industry leaders with London market experience, including roles within Lloyd’s syndicates and MGA platforms.
Commenting on the launch this week, McKay said:
“Subscribe MGA is built on a foundation of experience, agility, and a commitment to excellence, we’re excited to bring a fresh perspective to financial lines underwriting and deliver meaningful value to our broker partners and clients.”
“As a new MGA, we don’t have legacy systems that tie us to a specific way of doing things, and we use this to our full advantage, combining a highly technical underwriting approach with the power of technology. This allows us to reimagine the MGA approach, giving us the opportunity to target larger slow-moving competitors that are struggling to meet the changing market expectations.”
Subscribe MGA is the latest addition to the Acies group of companies, which provides a solid foundation of strategic support, technology and operational excellence.
Mark Heath, CEO of Acies MGU commented:
“Launching Subscribe MGA enables us to offer key Financial Lines protection for our SME customers as well as entering into the larger mid-market segment. This supports our strategy earlier this year with the expansion of Acies SME’s regional footprint from London & the Southeast to the Southwest and Midlands. Like Phoenix Specialty, Subscribe will also be writing London market slip business and local international business. We are advanced with our plans to launch additional specialisms which will be announced shortly”.
