Bridgehaven Europe Specialty DAC (Bridgehaven), the EU’s leading risk-taking hybrid insurer in commercial and specialty lines, has signed its first European MGA capacity agreement, with Arrow Risk Management GMBH (Arrow).
The landmark partnership follows Bridgehaven’s acquisition of Dublin-based SureStone in 2025 and marks the first step in its expansion into European delegated underwriting. Bridgehaven is the go-to partner for MGAs seeking access to EU markets, combining specialist underwriting expertise with aligned, long-term risk capital.
Arrow is a leading underwriter of risks associated with technology products and services, providing global Technology Errors & Omissions coverage on either a standalone or combined basis. Bridgehaven already partners with Arrow in the UK, so facilitating their move into Europe is the next logical step as part of the commitment to support Arrow’s growth into new markets.
A number of MGAs are in Bridgehaven’s European pipeline, having built a differentiated, entrepreneurial and robust solution for MGAs underwriting in Europe, supported by A- (Excellent) rated capacity.
Paul Jewell, Bridgehaven UK CEO, said:
“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.”
