BMG Insurance

What BMG Insurance does

BMG Insurance Brokers Ltd. is an independent, wholesale-only Lloyd's insurance broker headquartered at 1st Floor, 69 Leadenhall Street, London (EC3A 2BG), in the City of London insurance district. The company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (Firm Reference No. 450034) and is a member of BIBA and LIIBA. BMG operates on a B2B basis, providing insurance placement services exclusively to regulated intermediaries, underwriters, and authorised partners rather than to individual policyholders.

The firm places business across five core product lines: Equine & Bloodstock Insurance (covering mortality, vet fees, theft, and stud-related risks for high-value sport horses, racehorses, and breeding stock); Livestock Insurance (cattle, poultry, and fish farms against mortality, disease, transport, and natural disasters); Property Risks Insurance (barns, stables, poultry houses, machinery, and business interruption); Liability Risk Protection (public/products liability, employers' liability, professional indemnity, environmental liability, and legal defence costs); and Specialist & Emerging Risks (niche exposures such as exotic animal operations, mobile veterinary clinics, sanctuaries, and biosecurity threats). An in-house claims management service based at the London office supports all placements.

BMG earns commission income from Lloyd's syndicates and global insurance and reinsurance carriers by acting as the wholesale placement layer between retail intermediaries and capacity providers, primarily through binding authorities, delegated underwriting schemes, and larger facultative placements on a direct and reinsurance basis. The company is led by CEO Andrew Wood (in the London market since 1991) and Divisional Director Dominika Wojtyczka (joined 2007, Board since 2023), and operates with a stated headcount of 1-10 employees. No proprietary technology platforms, AI/ML capabilities, funding rounds, M&A activity, or revenue figures are disclosed.

Direct peers

• Lycetts: A UK broker specialising in rural, agricultural and equine insurance, with a strong bloodstock practice. Lycetts overlaps BMG's core product set (horse, livestock, property and liability for rural clients) and competes for similar intermediary and end-customer business.
• Rural Insurance Group: A specialist UK broker focused on agricultural, equine and rural business insurance, including stud farms, riding schools and poultry operations. Rural's product mix and customer segments closely mirror BMG's core book.
• Wrenbury Insurance Brokers: A UK specialist broker focused on animal-related insurance, including pet, equine and livestock. Wrenbury's animal-only specialism, broker-led model and UK regional base make it a comparable niche peer to BMG, particularly on equine/bloodstock placements.
• Camargue Underwriting Managers: A Lloyd's-based specialist underwriting manager focused on livestock and bloodstock exposures. Camargue sits at the same wholesale/Lloyd's layer as BMG, placing animal and agricultural business through delegated authority schemes — directly comparable product, customer and distribution profile.

Broad incumbents

• Hiscox: A Lloyd's-listed specialty insurer offering equine and animal-related cover as part of a wider specialty portfolio. Hiscox overlaps BMG on animal risks but operates at significantly larger scale and across many specialty lines.
• Howden Insurance Brokers: A major London and global insurance broker with a dedicated rural, agricultural and equine practice alongside large corporate lines. Howden overlaps BMG on animal and rural placements but offers a much broader product and geographic footprint.
• NFU Mutual: The UK's largest agricultural and rural insurer/broker, offering farm, equine, livestock and rural property cover at scale. NFU Mutual is a broader incumbent that competes with BMG for the same rural and equine book but across the full retail value chain rather than wholesale-only.
• Markel International: A Lloyd's-based specialty insurer/equine and livestock including bloodstock. Markel is a larger incumbent carrier/equine that competes with BMG for capacity in the same specialty classes but at the carrier/underwriting level rather than wholesale brokerage.
• Ardonagh / Towergate: A major UK-focused insurance broking group with significant rural, agricultural and equine exposure across its retail and wholesale platforms. Ardonagh competes with BMG for intermediary relationships and binding authority mandates at significantly greater scale.
• Amwins: A large global wholesale brokerage and underwriting manager with animal/livestock capability (the successor entity to THB where BMG's CEO previously worked). Amwins is a much larger wholesale peer that competes for binding authority and delegated authority business.
