Qualitas IB was founded by Mike — a former FD, CEO and MBO leader who spent a decade building one of the Midlands’ largest independent brokers before selling to a consolidator and starting again. He came back to insurance because he knew it could be done better.
Together, Mike and Archie are rebuilding commercial insurance brokerage around a single idea: the person who represents you should know your business, be accountable to you, and be there when things go wrong.
Mike founded Qualitas IB after a career that took him from financial accountant to FD, through an MBO, to CEO of one of the Midlands’ largest independent brokers. He came back to insurance because he knew what good representation looked like — and how rarely clients actually got it.
Archie has worked every role in the business. That breadth shapes how he thinks — strategically, clearly, and always from the client’s perspective. He has a particular talent for making insurance make sense to the people who need it most.
Care Beyond Cover
Most insurance feels transactional. One-size-fits-all quotes. Generic advice. Long waits for short answers.
That’s not how we do things.

Genuine. Helpful. Good-natured. Engaging.

“Six months after we updated our insurance, we had a computer-related claim. It was fully covered. If we hadn't made the changes, I know the old policy wouldn't have paid out.”
