Ardonagh-owned MGA rebrands after launch of new platform

Ardonagh-owned MGA Globe Underwriting has rebranded following the launch of Orvia Underwriting.

Oriva Underwriting, which was launched by Ardonagh in January 2026, is a single platform to combine a number of Ardonagh-owned MGAs across the London and European markets.

Globe Underwriting has now officially rebranded to Orvia Underwriting, with the London-based specialist becoming the second business to join the new platform.

”The transition to Orvia Underwriting ensures the technical expertise, underwriting excellence and client-first service that brokers and capacity partners have long recognised, is now supported by a broader European footprint and enhanced operational capabilities,” the firm said.

‘Unified brand’

Ardonagh’s new platform aims to build on existing underwriting and distribution capabilities within the business, creating centres of excellence for product and specialisms across Europe.

Trade credit and cyber specialist business Cooper Gay Germany became the first of Ardonagh’s existing MGAs to transition to the new brand, with other businesses in the London and other European markets set to join the platform in 2026.

Conor Geraghty, chief executive at Orvia Underwriting, said: “We’re delighted to welcome the Globe Underwriting team to Orvia.

“Its expertise is a powerful addition to our platform and I see significant opportunity for continued growth as we scale our operation across the London and European market.

“Creating a unified brand is a critical part of delivering our vision of one MGA operating across borders, combining trusted specialist underwriting with a seamless experience for brokers and insurer partners.”
