Momentum Meets: Matt Brunton 2026

Matt Brunton is our very own Broking Director at Momentum, and has been part of the journey since day one.In this Momentum Meets episode, Matt sits down with Alistair Body (Business Development Director) to share what has changed in UK insurance broking over the last 15 years and what matters most right now for independent brokers.They discuss the growing impact of FCA Consumer Duty, how placement has evolved across MGAs and composite markets, and why proactive client communication is the difference between retaining trust and losing ground in a soft market. Matt also explains how Momentum is embracing technology and AI in practical ways, from smarter cross-selling and better use of data, to improving efficiency by reducing repeated data entry across insurer portals.Alongside the market insight, Matt reflects on what makes Momentum different: a colleague-first culture, leadership that stays close to the front line, and a commitment to developing talent through apprenticeships and clear progression.It’s a conversation about momentum in every sense, building a stronger broking model that protects independence while raising standards for clients, Broker Partners, and insurer relationships across the UK.If you're looking to start your own brokerage, or looking to move from being DA or another Principal, and want more information on how Momentum Broker Solutions can support your journey, then reach out to Alistair Body on LinkedIn....did you know you can WATCH our podcasts too?
