About Us
Since 1989, Paragon has grown from a high street broker into a tech-enabled underwriting agency with over 30 years of industry presence. Today, we specialise in household, motor, and commercial products, distributed exclusively through more than 800 broker partners nationwide. Our journey, from broker, to distributor, to insurtech MGA, reflects a consistent ability to adapt to the changing needs of insurers, brokers, and clients.
Our purpose is simple: to give brokers confidence in placing quality, fair-value cover for their clients, and to give insurers confidence that their capacity is managed with discipline, resilience, and sustainability.
Digital Distribution: Real-Time, Cloud-Native
At Paragon, technology underpins everything we do. Our real-time pricing capabilities deliver instant, accurate quotes directly into broker systems, removing friction at the point of sale and ensuring competitive placement. We integrate seamlessly with brokers’ platforms of choice - CDL, SSP, and OpenGI - so trading is fast, familiar, and efficient.
​
Our operations are built on a 100% cloud-native infrastructure, delivering resilience, security, and continuity of service in line with FCA operational resilience requirements. This gives brokers reliable access, while giving insurers confidence in seamless, well-governed distribution.
Disciplined & Data Driven
Insurers trust Paragon to manage their capacity responsibly. Our approach blends data-driven underwriting, postcode-level risk analysis, and continuous performance benchmarking with a commitment to listening to broker feedback. This allows us to shape products that balance insurer sustainability with practical, fair solutions for brokers and their clients.
​
Through our hosted pricing solution, we can seamlessly integrate any data enrichment providers into the rating process - giving insurers greater insight and precision, while ensuring brokers benefit from fair, competitive terms at the point of sale
​
The result is distribution that is governed with discipline and transparency, but also responsive and adaptable - ensuring insurers achieve sustainable portfolios while brokers can place cover that delivers fair value and long-term reliability.
Excellent Broker Partnerships: A Network of Trust
Our relationships with over 800 brokers nationwide are built on trust, consistency, and shared success. With roots as a broker ourselves, we understand intermediary pressures and design our products and processes to make trading straightforward and transparent.
​
By integrating directly into CDL, SSP, and OpenGI platforms, we make it simple for brokers to access quality cover quickly, while insurers benefit from a trusted, selective distribution network.
Claims Oversight: Fair & Transparent
Claims sit at the heart of customer outcomes. Paragon maintains in-house claims oversight across delegated authority arrangements to ensure every claim is managed transparently, promptly, and in line with policy terms.
For insurers, this provides confidence that claims performance is carefully monitored and leakage controlled. For brokers and their clients, it means a process that is accessible, transparent, and focused on achieving fair outcomes quickly.
Heritage & Expertise
With more than three decades in the market, Paragon brings the resilience and adaptability that enduring presence provides. Our senior management team averages 25+ years of experience across underwriting, operations, claims and compliance, ensuring decisions are grounded in expertise and foresight.
​
Our journey from broker to distributor and now to insurtech MGA reflects our ability to adapt, innovate, and lead - reassuring brokers of stability and giving insurers confidence in responsible capacity management through changing market conditions.
