“For over 30 years, APRIL Group has cultivated a taste for adventure, conquest, entrepreneurial spirit and the desire to innovate,” the company said in a release. “For the MGA, simplifying insurance means offering a smooth and outstanding experience while being there for their partners when it matters.”

APRIL has also stated that it aims to become a “digital, omnichannel, agile distributor of insurance solutions and a champion of customer experience” by the year 2023. With its accomplishments this year alone – and after bagging Insurance Business’ construction awards – the MGA’s vision may soon be a reality.
