MGA iprism Purchases Property-Focused MGA, SK Underwriting

September 25, 2023

iprism, the London-based construction, property, commercial and high-net-worth MGA, announced the acquisition of property-focused MGA, SK Underwriting Ltd. for an undisclosed amount.

Kent, England-based SK Underwriting was formed in 1999 and offers a range of commercial SME products, principally focused on property. It is backed by “A” rated, UK-domiciled capacity and all existing staff will remain with the business. SK founder and Managing Director Colin Johns will remain with the business as a consultant for 12 months.

The acquisition is the second by iprism; in September last year it acquired Metier Underwriting. CEO Ian Lloyd signaled his desire to grow the business organically and through acquisition following iprism’s management buyout in 2021.

“Colin Johns and his team have built a strong business which complements iprism’s market appetite and expertise. We see mutual benefit in this acquisition; SK’s property underwriting experience will bolster our own capabilities, whilst providing them access to new broker teams and business opportunities,” commented CEO Lloyd.
