Bridgehaven inks first European MGA capacity deal

Hybrid insurer Bridgehaven Europe Specialty has signed its first European MGA capacity agreement with Arrow Risk Management.

The move will see Bridgehaven support Arrow’s growth into new markets across Europe.

It marks Bridgehaven’s first step in its expansion into European delegated underwriting. 

Paul Jewell, chief executive at Bridgehaven UK, said: “This European capacity deal marks an 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.”

Next step

The latest deal buils on the partnership between the two firms.

In September 2025, Bridgehaven Specialty UK partnered with Arrow to launch its tech errors and omissions (E&O) underwriting practice. 

Graeme King, underwriting practice leader at 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.”
