Mission announces upcoming launch of eighth UK MGA

Lumara Insurance will provide business insurance and motor trade combined products.

LONDON, 29 October 2025 - Mission, the global MGA incubator, has announced that it has reached an agreement to support a new team to launch a UK commercial combined MGA in Q4 2025.

Lumara Insurance will specialise in Business Insurance and Motor Trade Combined products for UK brokers and will be led by industry veterans David Aslin and Mark Greig, who both bring long experience in the regional commercial insurance market in the UK to the new business.

Built for today’s brokers, Lumara’s Business Insurance and Motor Trade Combined products bring together cover for all key risks in a single, easy-to-manage policy. The approach combines relationship-driven service, tailored solutions, and genuine expertise, delivered by experienced underwriters supported by intelligent technology. The result is an insurance experience that’s efficient, responsive, and built around brokers’ needs.

David Aslin has most recently spent almost a decade at Covéa as Head of Mid-Market, and has also previously had successful stints in leadership roles at Arista, NIG and Aviva.

Mark Greig also joins from Covéa, where he was the Underwriting Manager in the South of the UK, and has previously held senior roles at Pen Underwriting, Fusion Insurance, NIG and LV.

"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," said Ross Dingwall, CEO of Mission.“Lumara represents our eighth UK launch and demonstrates our continued commitment to giving exceptional underwriters the freedom and backing to build successful businesses.”

Mission expects to announce additional MGA launches in late 2025 and early 2026, reinforcing its position as a leading MGA incubator supporting specialist underwriting teams across the UK, US and European market.
