LONDON, 7 October 2026 — MISSION-backed MGA Kyntra has launched to provide property cover for brokers placing risks that often fall outside mainstream insurers’ appetites.
Based in Dublin, the MGA is led by co-founders and co-CEOs David Gibson and Robert Purser, who bring more than 40 years’ combined insurance experience and a track record of building and growing specialist property portfolios from the ground up.
Kyntra offers primary, first-loss, excess-of-loss and co-insurance cover for property-owner and operational risks, including standard and non-standard construction. Its appetite spans manufacturing, warehousing, accommodation and leisure, extending to office blocks and unoccupied property.
“Brokers need underwriters who’ll take on the risks others won’t. We’re hands-on, assessing every submission on its own merits rather than against rigid, rules-based criteria, and we want to build long-term relationships with brokers by finding dependable cover for their clients.”
“We’re delighted to partner with MISSION in this new venture. MISSION’s platform gives us the capacity and operational support to focus on what we do best: underwriting difficult risks. It provides the long-term backing to build a sustainable specialist business that can be a partner to brokers and clients throughout the underwriting cycle.”
Gibson began his insurance career at FBD Insurance and has since built experience across the market, including through roles at Marsh, Lockton, Travelers and NFP. Earlier in his career, Purser held underwriting roles at QBE and Liberty before taking on positions at Blackrock Insurance and NFP.
