Clear Group managing general agents Accelerate Underwriting and Thomond Underwriting have both rebranded to fall under the consolidator’s Shape umbrella. Accelerate Underwriting is now Shape Digital, while Thomond Underwriting becomes Shape Underwriting Ireland.

In 2023, Thomond became Clear’s first MGA investment when it took a 50% stake in the business. Accelerate Underwriting was acquired the following year. Clear said the rebrands were part of an ongoing strategy to create a more unified offering.

Mandy Hunt, managing director at Shape Underwriting, said: “Our vision has always been to build a business that brokers can rely on for access, expertise, and service. The launch of Shape Digital and Shape Underwriting Ireland reflects our continued investment in that vision, making it easier for brokers to access markets, benefit from high quality underwriting and experience consistently excellent service.”
