GGW GmbH

The GGW Group's journey began in 2020, born from the conviction that entrepreneurs are best equipped to understand and serve the needs of other entrepreneurs. Founded by Tobias Warweg, the group embarked on a mission to create a leading European insurance brokerage platform specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the backbone of the German and European economies. What started as an innovative and entrepreneurial idea, backed by the experience and relationships of its founders, quickly transformed into a formidable force in the insurance sector. The initial vision was to build a high-quality business by partnering with trusted, owner-managed brokerage firms, a strategy that has been a core pillar of its success. This approach allowed GGW to attract a growing number of partners to its platform, fueling rapid and substantial growth in its early years. The partnership with financial investor Hg was instrumental in this initial phase, providing the necessary support and resources to scale the business effectively.

Today, GGW Group stands as a testament to its founding principles, having evolved into a major player in the European insurance market. The group operates as a powerful collective of over 60 owner-managed insurance brokers and managing general agents (MGAs), united under the umbrella brands of LEADING BROKERS UNITED and WECOYA UNDERWRITING. This unique federal model allows individual partner companies to maintain their autonomy, identity, and entrepreneurial freedom while benefiting from the strength, resources, and international reach of the larger group. Headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, GGW has expanded its footprint across 12 European countries, employing more than 1,800 people. The company's success is not just measured by its size but by its unwavering commitment to providing tailored, expert advice and solutions to its SME clients. By thinking in generations, GGW fosters long-term, trust-based relationships, ensuring they grow alongside their clients and are always there to navigate the complexities of the insurance landscape.
