Acies SME recruits ex-LV managers for launch in South West and Midlands
Acies SME UK extends its SME insurance offering into the South West and Midlands after initial operations in London and the South East, hiring experienced ex-LV managers to lead the regions.

Acies SME UK, the first managing general agent (MGA) established by Acies MGU in 2021, has expanded its SME insurance offering into the South West and the Midlands. This move follows the company's initial operations in London and the South East.
The South West region will be overseen by Kevin Wildman, while the Midlands will be managed by Natalie Brewster. Both Wildman and Brewster previously served as regional managers at Liverpool Victoria, bringing experience from their time with the insurer.
The Midlands team for Acies SME now includes Jo Stretch, Jason Booth, and Mike Stanley, working alongside Brewster. In the South West, Wildman is joined by Teresa Southworth, Steve McGill, and Jamie Hartnell.
“This is the right time to expand the MGA nationally, offering brokers experienced local teams by reuniting the Liverpool Victoria team. Liverpool Victoria earned broker respect for more than a decade through its focus on relationship management, service, and consistency.”
“Launching Acies SME into these two new regions is part of our overall strategic expansion - we launched our global CPE capabilities within Phoenix Specialty earlier this year, which followed our launch of Acies Specialist Schemes and we will be shortly announcing the launch of additional Acies MGAs and strategic activity in the US.”
