Mission, the global managing general agent (MGA) incubator, has confirmed an agreement to support the launch of a new UK commercial combined MGA in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The new entity, Lumara Insurance, will focus on business insurance and motor trade combined products for UK brokers.
Lumara Insurance will be led by David Aslin (pictured above, left) and Mark Greig (pictured above, right), both of whom have extensive experience in the UK regional commercial insurance market. Aslin previously served as head of mid-market at Covéa for nearly ten years and has held leadership roles at Arista, NIG, and Aviva.
Greig also joins from Covéa, where he was underwriting manager for the South, and has held senior positions at Pen Underwriting, Fusion Insurance, NIG, and LV.
The launch of Lumara comes at a time when the UK MGA sector is experiencing a wave of new entrants and heightened product innovation. Throughout 2025, several MGAs have launched with a focus on providing tailored solutions for niche and underserved sectors.
Lumara’s product offering will combine cover for key risks in a single policy, targeting brokers seeking streamlined solutions for their clients. This approach aligns with a growing trend in the UK commercial combined market, where MGAs and insurers are increasingly developing modular and flexible policy structures.
Ross Dingwall, CEO of Mission, commented, “David and Mark are exactly the kind of underwriting talent we look to partner with – proven track records, deep broker relationships, and a clear vision for their market.” He noted that Lumara is Mission’s eighth UK launch and reflects the company’s ongoing strategy to support underwriters in building new businesses.
The broader MGA market in the UK and Europe is also evolving, with capacity providers and insurers showing increased interest in sustainable growth and portfolio diversification through partnerships with MGAs.
