Following the January launch of Orvia Underwriting, Ardonagh’s new pan-European Managing General Agent (MGA) platform, Globe Underwriting today officially rebrands and transitions to Orvia Underwriting. The London-based specialist MGA becomes the second Ardonagh-owned business to join the new platform, further strengthening Orvia’s presence across the London and European markets.
Orvia is a single, scalable platform that is combining a number of Ardonagh-owned MGAs, representing a combined base portfolio of more than €250 million in GWP. The integration of Globe Underwriting adds deep specialist expertise across Professional Indemnity, Cyber, Property & Casualty, Political Violence & Terrorism, Fine Art, Jewellery & Specie, Aviation (Loss of Licence) and Forestry.
Globe Underwriting has been a home for specialist underwriting talent in the London market for a number of years. The transition to Orvia 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 rebrand marks another step in Orvia’s ambition to build a leading London and European underwriting business by unifying MGAs under one brand while expanding into new markets and product areas as the business grows. The new name, drawing on the Celtic Ór (gold) and Latin Via (path), symbolises Orvia’s commitment to creating a clear, assured way of connecting clients, brokers and capacity partners across the distribution chain.
Conor Geraghty, CEO of Orvia Underwriting, commented: “We’re delighted to welcome the Globe Underwriting team to Orvia. Their 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.”
The new Orvia brand will be rolled out across offices, digital channels and client engagement throughout 2026, supported by a campaign highlighting the strength of connection through expertise, insight led underwriting and exceptional service.
