Craig Kingaby & Mark Heath on The Voice of Insurance

Craig Kingaby (CEO of Meridian) and Mark Heath (CEO of Acies MGU) feature on The Voice of Insurance podcast, described by the host as representing some of the most singular insurance people he's interviewed - both bringing extensive London market and international insurance experience.

The conversation covers their ambition to build a London-based, diversified specialist insurance group that operates somewhat outside conventional market structures. Growth is opportunity-driven rather than investor-driven. There is no exit strategy - the focus is on creating a generational business that is self-funded and management-controlled, with significant investment in proprietary technology platforms and independent decision-making authority on client matters.

The host characterises the conversation as one of the most frank exchanges about how to build a differentiated broking and MGA business, noting both executives are ideal interviewees because they can sign off on their own quotes.
