The latest update from Direct Commercial;
Direct Commercial Limited (DCL), the specialist commercial motor insurer, has been named ‘MGA of the Year’ at the 2025 British Insurance Awards. The prestigious accolade recognises the company’s exceptional growth, innovation, and broker-first approach across the commercial motor insurance sector.
DCL achieved a record £201 million in gross written premium in 2024, up 32% from the previous year, now insuring one in nine haulage trucks on UK roads.
The firm’s investment in digital transformation, particularly the launch of its broker portal, has redefined broker engagement and operational efficiency. The portal now sees over 1,000 users per week, driving transparency and reducing manual information requests by over 80%.
Phil Cunningham, Chief Executive of DCL, said:
“Winning MGA of the Year is a proud moment for everyone at DCL. This award is a testament to our disciplined underwriting, sustained profitability, and absolute commitment to broker partnerships. We’ve invested significantly in service, technology, and people – all with one goal: to make it easier for brokers to do business and deliver better outcomes for policyholders. I want to thank our capacity partners, our broker network, and especially our dedicated team who have made this possible.”
DCL’s robust relationship with its capacity partners of over a decade has played a critical role in securing capacity increases and supporting continued product development. The firm’s proactive Claims Clinics and graduate training scheme further demonstrate DCL’s investment in future talent and continuous service improvement.
This latest recognition underscores DCL’s position as a market-leading MGA and reinforces its mission to support brokers with agile, customer-focused commercial motor insurance solutions.
