Acies MGU has added managing general agent Acies Specialist Schemes to its stable, which will provide an insurance proposition for recruitment companies. Rachael Light (pictured), senior underwriter at Acies Specialist Schemes, will lead the new venture. She will be supported by Nikki Cox. Both join from Kingfisher Insurance Services. The move is part of Acies MGU’s strategy to cater for niche markets.

Acies Specialist Schemes will offer a blend of professional indemnity, public liability, employers’ liability, as well as property and business interruption. It will cover specific recruitment market risks such as contractual liabilities and overseas placements.

Mark Heath, CEO at Acies MGU, said: “Acies MGU is committed to growing its portfolio of diversified specialist MGAs with experienced underwriters passionate about offering a great service to our brokers.”

Light added: “Having spent years working with niche delegated authority business, I’m pleased to be joining the Acies team to build this new product offering for recruitment agencies.

“Recruiters often have very particular needs and there are contractual nuances that need to be carefully considered on a case-by-case basis by experts. Nikki and I are both thrilled to be part of the growing Acies group and drive the development of more specialist products.”
