UNA - The National Association of Independent Insurance BrokersWe began life back in 1997 as an alliance of Partner Insurers and Member Brokers. Then known as UNITAS, the organisation represented a unique opportunity to provide technical support, facilitate channels of communication and crucially, generate incremental premiums from which both its Members and Partners would benefit. Now some seventeen years on the organisation has regrouped under our new brand UNA, which represents the new us, totally focused and structured to meet our ambitious plans for expansion.The UNA proposition is simple ­we are a national alliance of brokers and insurers working together for mutual benefit ­and their clients, UNA is the mechanism that makes this happen.The UNA organisation is a non-profit making company owned by its members, which operates from a number of centres in the United Kingdom.UNA is overseen by a Board of Directors, which comprises owners and senior players from member brokers. Project groups reporting to the board collectively deliver new product development and a comprehensive range of management services. These are designed to assist members to grow their businesses, achieve sustainability and deal with the increasingly technical aspects of the industry.Under the leadership of Executive Chairman Tim Ryan and a Board of Directors that boasts an impressive breadth of industry experience, UNA is seen as an insurance industry force to be reckoned with. The strength of the alliance is clearly displayed in the desire and aim to increase the scope and number of exclusive UNA branded products, which in turn drive business, by enhanced client retention and acquisition via the Members through to the Partners. We have the ambition that everything we do is for the ultimate benefit of clients and members.
