Bridgehaven Europe Specialty DAC, a European insurer focused on commercial and specialty risks, has entered into its first Managing General Agent (MGA) capacity agreement in Europe with Arrow Risk Management GMBH (Arrow).
This agreement comes after Bridgehaven’s 2025 acquisition of Dublin-based SureStone, and represents an early move in the company’s broader plan to grow its delegated underwriting operations across Europe.
The firm positions itself as a partner for MGAs looking to access EU markets, offering underwriting expertise alongside long-term capital support.
Arrow specialises in underwriting risks linked to technology products and services. Its offerings include global Technology Errors & Omissions coverage, available either as a standalone product or as part of a combined policy.
Bridgehaven and Arrow already work together in the UK, and this new agreement supports Arrow’s expansion into European markets as part of its ongoing growth strategy.
Bridgehaven has indicated that additional MGA partnerships are under consideration as part of its European pipeline. The company aims to provide a structured platform for MGAs operating in the region, supported by capacity rated A- (Excellent).
Paul Jewell, Bridgehaven UK CEO, commented: “This European capacity deal marks and exciting milestone as we build a leading presence in the European delegated underwriting market. It demonstrates our ability to support MGAs writing European business, offering seamless access to the EU through a robust risk-taking platform backed by aligned reinsurance capital.”
“Our ambition is clear: to become the partner of choice for MGAs seeking sustainable, long-term growth across Europe.”
Graeme King, Underwriting Practice Leader of Arrow, added: “We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Bridgehaven as we expand into Europe. Their hybrid model combined with a strong alignment of underwriting expertise with committed capital makes them an ideal partner for our next phase of growth.”
