Bridgehaven Europe Specialty DAC, a European insurance company specializing in commercial and professional risks, has signed its first general agency (MGA) capacity agreement in Europe with Arrow Risk Management GMBH (Arrow).
The agreement follows Bridgehaven’s acquisition of Dublin-based SureStone in 2025 and represents an early step in the company’s wider plans to grow its mandated underwriting business in Europe.
The company positions itself as a partner to MGAs seeking to enter the EU market, providing underwriting expertise as well as long-term capital support.
Arrow specializes in underwriting risks associated with technology products and services. Its products include global technical errors and omissions coverage, available as a stand-alone 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 the European market as part of its continued growth strategy.
Bridgehaven said it was considering further partnerships with MGA as part of its European channel. The company aims to provide a structured platform for MGAs operating in the region, supported by A- (Excellent) capacity.
Bridgehaven UK CEO Paul Jewell commented: “This European capacity deal marks an exciting milestone as we establish a leading position in the European mandated underwriting market. It demonstrates our ability to support MGAs in underwriting European business, providing seamless access to the EU through a strong risk-taking platform backed by consistent reinsurance capital.”
“Our ambition is clear: to be the partner of choice for MGAs seeking sustainable, long-term growth across Europe.”
Graeme King, Head of Underwriting at Arrow, added: “We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with Bridgehaven as we expand into Europe. Their hybrid model, coupled with the strong combination of underwriting expertise and committed capital, makes them the ideal partner for our next stage of growth.”
