Ep285 William Pitt, FASE: Bringing local European MGA expertise and Global Capacity together

Todays’ guest has done something that only happens once in a generation. He’s helped found a new insurance industry trade body.
Most insurance trade groupings tend to feel as if they have been around forever. Rightly so, because in various shapes or forms most of them have.
New bodies only tend to be born because something has changed in the market that requires them to come into existence.
Here the big change is the growth in MGAs on the continent of Europe and the new trade body is called FASE, the Federation of European MGAs or more correctly in its French and Latin-language friendly version, the Fédération des Agences de Souscription Européennes.
Today’s guest is FASE’s Executive Director Willliam Pitt and this podcast is all about finding out what has brought about FASE’s inception and what needs in the European MGA community it is intending to serve.
William has had a remarkable career in insurance on both sides of the underwriting desk as well as in consultancy, insurance marketing and indeed insurance journalism.
He is both passionate and articulate about the forum that FASE is looking to provide for the industry and the fundamental drivers behind the seemingly inexorable growth in this part of the global insurance value chain.
This makes for a really informative and thought-provoking discussion. You’ll learn a lot and by the end of this podcast you’ll be wondering why FASE didn’t come into existence far sooner.
