Bridgehaven’s CEO, Paul Jewell, was interviewed by Intelligent Insurer whilst at the 2025 Rendez-Vous de Septembre (RVS) in Monte Carlo, where he discussed Bridgehaven’s plans to be writing £1 billion worth of insurance business in partnership with up to 40 MGAs by 2028.
The firm is backed by US private equity business Flexpoint Ford, and already works with a number of MGAs, having written over £500 million worth of business since its launch in 2023.
Bridgehaven is one of the first MGA-focused insurers to have launched in the UK following the success of the model in the US. As such, it has established itself in the market and already works with a range of specialist MGAs across multiple lines of business.
“I like to think about Bridgehaven being the ‘Centre of Excellence’ and each of the MGAs as the branch offices”, Bridgehaven CEO, Paul Jewell told Intelligent Insurer’s Monte Carlo Today. “We provide the oversight and the governance rules framework that they work within”.
Back in July, Bridgehaven also purchased Dublin-based insurer SureStone Insurance DAC as a route to enter the fast-growing European MGA market, which it believes will grow to generate £50 billion worth of premiums within five years. It is seen as an opportunity to partner with experienced teams with plans to expand and set up their own MGAs in Europe.
