The Fidelis Partnership (TFP), a privately-owned managing general underwriter (MGU), has transferred its primary European entity from Brussels to Dublin, effective 1st December 2025.
TFP has established Dublin as the hub to access the European market, reflecting its increasing investment in Ireland and further supporting its overall European growth objectives.
Over the past twelve months, TFP has grown its Dublin headcount to over 80 – with recent appointments including Paul Hendrix, who joined as an Underwriter in October, and Michelle Raine, who joined as a Senior D&F Underwriter in November.
The firm expects to write approximately $800 million in premium in 2025. TFP is also championing emerging local talent through its annual scholarship programme with the University of Limerick and its internship programme with Queen’s University Belfast.
TFP considers Dublin a strategic location and key hub for its technology, data analytics and actuarial teams. Drawing on the support of Minister Robert Troy at Ireland’s Department of Finance, TFP is also spearheading a working group of specialty insurance CEOs with the aim to position Dublin as a European hub for specialty insurance.
Rob Kelly, Ireland CEO at The Fidelis Partnership, commented, “TFP is delighted to be playing a leading role in the development of Dublin as a globally recognised European insurance hub. Ireland has already established itself as a centre of excellence for technology, and we are excited by the opportunities to continue building its profile as a destination of choice for insurance business, particularly across specialty lines. As a home for Ireland’s leading and emerging underwriting talent, and as a convenor of industry voices committed to Ireland’s growth, TFP is exceptionally well positioned to help spearhead this development.”
Conor O’Riordan, Group Chief Financial Officer at The Fidelis Partnership, added, “The decision to relocate our European HQ to Dublin reflects the momentum we have built in Ireland, since opening our Dublin office in 2018 and our ongoing investment in local talent, operations and technology. We see huge potential for Ireland to accelerate as the engine room for European specialty insurance and we are excited to deepen our commitment here.”
Jack Chambers, Ireland’s Minister of State for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Services, Reform and Digitalisation, said, “Ireland has rapidly transformed into an internationally competitive home for global (re)insurance capital. Through meaningful regulatory reform, outstanding educational connections, and access to the EU Single Market, Ireland has established distinct advantages as a hub for business and for exceptional talent. TFP’s renewed commitment to Dublin and Ireland is a major testament to the strength of this environment and its future growth potential, and I look forward to further collaboration with the business moving forward.”
Robert Troy, Minister of State for Financial Services, Credit Unions, and Insurance at Ireland’s Department of Finance, said, “The Fidelis Partnership’s decision to relocate its European entity to Dublin represents a strong vote of confidence in Ireland’s insurance sector, our deep pool of talent, and our pro-enterprise environment. From expanding its workforce to supporting the next generation of local talent, The Fidelis Partnership’s investment strengthens Ireland’s position as a leading location for specialty insurance within the EU. I look forward to engaging further with the industry to promote Ireland’s position as a destination of choice for insurers, and to enhance competitiveness and availability in line with the Action Plan for Insurance Reform.”
