The Fidelis Partnership (TFP), the Bermuda-headquartered managing general underwriter, announced it ha
s transferred its primary European entity from Brussels to Dublin, effective December 1, 2025.
The move establishes Dublin as the hub through which TFP will acc
ess the EU market, further supporting its European growth objectives as well as reflecting its increasing investment in Ireland, the company explained.
Over the past 12 months, TFP has grown its Dublin headcount to over 80 – with recent hires including underwrite
r Paul Hendrix, who joined in October, and Michelle Raine, who joined in November as a senior D&F underwriter.
TFP said this expansion reflects the scale of the business it’s buildin
g in Dublin, with the firm expecting to write approximately $800 million in premium in 2025.
TFP is championing emerging local talent through its annual scholarship program with the University of Limerick and
its internship program with Queen’s University Belfast.
Through these investments in local talent and insurance expertise, TFP has recognized Dublin as a key operational and strategic location for the business and is a
key hub for the group’s technology, data analytics and actuarial teams.

Drawing on the support of Minister Robert Troy at Ireland’s Departmen
t of Finance, TFP is also spearheading a working group of specialty insurance CEOs with the objective of positioni
ng Dublin as a European hub for specialty insurance.
In June, TFP and IDA Ireland co-hosted a panel event with partici
pation from Irish Minister for Public Expenditure, Jack Chambers, to showcase Ireland as a home for innovation i
n the insurance industry and as an attractive investment destination.

“TFP is delighted to be playing a leading role in the development of Dublin as a globally recognized European insurance hub. Ireland has already establish

the opportunities to continue building its profile as a destination of choice for insurance business, particularly across specialty lines,” commented Rob Kelly, Ireland CEO at TFP.
Conor O’Riordan, group chief financial officer at The Fidelis Partnership, said: “The decision to relocate our Europ
ean 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 accel
erate as the engine room for European specialty insurance, and we are excited to deepen our commitment here.”
“Ireland has rapidly transformed into an internationally competitive home for global re/insurance capital. Through meaningful regulatory ref
orm, outstanding educational connections, and access to the EU Single Market, Ireland has established distinct
advantages as a hub for business and for exceptional talent,” according to Jack Chambers, Ireland’s Minister of State for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Services, Reform and Digitalisation.
“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,” said Robert Troy, Minister of State for Financial Services, Credit Unions, and Insurance at Ireland’s Department of Finance.
“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,” Troy continued.
