Ep 72 Colin Thompson Group CEO Nexus: Eat your own cooking

This week’s podcast is a great encounter with a UK MGA pioneer at
the top of his game. Colin Thompson is the CEO of Nexus Group, a
firm he founded in London 13 years ago. That business is
projecting punchy organic growth of a third this year to $600mn
in premiums written. It is also on the hunt for ever larger
acquisitions and is looking to back some of its own underwriting
with a risk-bearing entity to show its paper providers that it
has real skin in the game. During our chat Colin also confirms
that Nexus will be selling its trade credit broking arm to focus
exclusively on underwriting. We cover a huge amount of ground
here and a lot is revealed about the next strategic direction for
what is almost certainly London’s fastest-growing MGA business of
scale. We also learn a lot about what makes the entrepreneur
driving its growth tick.
