MGA partners with specialty insurer to launch E&O underwriting practice

Specialist MGA underwriting platform Arrow Risk Management has partnered with insurer Bridgehaven Specialty UK to launch its tech errors and omissions (E&O) underwriting practice. 

Through the practice, Arrow will concentrate on providing combined technology E&O and cyber coverage primarily to organisations delivering technology products and services. Business will be written on the Arrow MGA platform. 

The practice will be led by Graeme King, who most recently served as managing director of the cyber specialty team at Volante Global.

Paul Dilley, chief underwriting officer at Bridgehaven, said: “This new partnership between Bridgehaven and Arrow reflects our determination to work with MGAs that deliver innovative, value-added solutions to policyholders.

”King’s track record of underwriting technology and cyber risks, in combination with his extensive experience across the IT sector and the targeted risk profile of the portfolio, is a key differentiator.  We look forward to working with King to build-out the portfolio in the UK and internationally.”

Experienced leader

King has underwritten the class for more than 14 years, following 10 years as a technology and intellectual property lawyer. 

Prior to his current role, King has held positions as practice leader and underwriter for professional indemnity and cyber at Allianz, international technology underwriter at Hiscox and programme manager for claims operational transformation at Zurich Financial Services. 

Mark Harrington, chief underwriting officer at Arrow, said: “King is an extremely experienced and successful technology lawyer and underwriter, who is committed to building out a well-balanced book of business over the long-term.

”We are delighted he has chosen the Arrow platform to achieve these objectives.”
