Amiga Specialty has secured Lloyd’s capacity to support a Management Liability proposition aimed at SME and mid‑market businesses in the UK, Europe and selected rest‑of‑world territories, the firm has announced.

The Lloyd’s‑backed facility will underwrite directors’ & officers’ (D&O) and broader management liability risks and is intended to provide brokers with locally accessible Lloyd’s capacity for those lines. Amiga said the arrangement strengthens its ability to deliver underwriting‑led solutions and quicker placement decisions for management‑liability business.

The unit is led by James Rasmussen, Amiga’s managing director for management liability, who the firm says brings experience in building and underwriting management‑liability portfolios across a range of sectors and risk profiles. Amiga described the team’s approach as pragmatic and broker‑focussed, emphasising speed of decision‑making, clear appetite and consistent execution.

“This Lloyd’s‑backed facility reinforces our underwriting‑led approach, combining disciplined judgement with speed, clarity and a genuine understanding of risk,” Rasmussen said. “It brings additional, meaningful capacity to the London market.”

Adam Kembrooke, group managing director and founder of Amiga Specialty, said securing Lloyd’s capacity supports the group’s scaling plans and reinforces its growth strategy.

Amiga Specialty was established in June 2025 and is backed by B.P. Marsh, the specialist investor in insurance distribution businesses. The firm positions itself as an international managing general agent (MGA) combining technical underwriting with technology‑enabled workflows.

The addition of Lloyd’s capacity gives the MGA a labelled route to capital and market access for management liability risks that can be attractive to brokers placing D&O and related covers, particularly for SME and mid‑market accounts where speed and clarity on terms matter. For brokers, locally enabled Lloyd’s capacity can simplify placements that would otherwise require routed submissions to multiple carriers.

Amiga said the facility will focus on the UK and Europe as core territories while retaining flexibility to support international and cross‑border exposures where appropriate. The firm’s next public steps are likely to include publishing appetite guidance and programme details that will determine the practical implications for brokers and placing agents.
