Chief Executive Officer • Bridgehaven Specialty UK Ltd

Bronze Sponsor Market Practitioner Member

MGAs are an important bedrock of the UK insurance market. One of the fastest growing sectors in insurance was one of the attractions for Bridgehaven to set up an insurance company focused on MGAs. How to get our message to MGAs was answered by the MGAA who provide a comprehensive communication, learning and development and events, providing us with a platform to communicate with members. Acknowledging the strength of the MGAA and wanting to develop our partnership further we decided to become a sponsor. This has provided Bridgehaven with a strong voice at events and through various articles and we look forward to strengthening our partnership in the years to come.
