FASE, the Pan-European MGA Federation, Partners With Bridgehaven

AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FASE (Fédération des Agences de Souscription Européennes), the newly formed pan-European MGA federation, is delighted to welcome Bridgehaven as a gold sponsor of the federation.

“Our focus at Bridgehaven is to provide durable capacity for well-managed MGAs in the UK and continental Europe and to partner with these MGAs as they grow,” said Paul Jewell, Chief Executive Officer at Bridgehaven. “There is no lack of underwriting talent in Europe, but the MGA market is still quite fragmented. FASE is helping to bring the market closer together while promoting the highest professional standards. We are delighted to support it.”

William Pitt, FASE Executive Director, welcomed Bridgehaven’s support. “Bridgehaven is representative of a new breed of hybrid fronting insurers that is helping to power the growth of Europe’s MGA market. We look forward to sharing the insights and expertise of the Bridgehaven team with our members.”

Bridgehaven chairman Erik Matson will join senior market figures addressing FASE’s annual conference, the MGA Rendezvous, in Barcelona on May 11 and 12.
