Insurance company Hadron has revealed plans to begin operating in the EU in early 2026.
This follows a period of activity and new initiatives in the US and UK.
The company aims to expand its role as a support platform for specialized underwriters, including managing general agents (MGA), managing general underwriters (MGU), program administrators and reinsurance partners.
Hadron said this move aims to take advantage of opportunities in the EU region, as subscription companies look to scale and consolidate their activities.
Since its inception in late 2023, Hadron has developed a cross-border platform serving the specialist underwriting sector.
The company is backed by more than $250 million in capital from Altamont Capital Partners and other institutional sponsors. Its workforce now numbers more than 75 people in areas such as data, operations, regulatory affairs, risk management, technology and underwriting.
In the past two years, Hadron has established four insurance entities, with all units using shared infrastructure. This approach has allowed expansion into new jurisdictions and products.
In the UK, ten new MGA programs have joined the Hadron platform over the past year, and there are plans for more additions.
The company projects that by the end of 2025, its gross premiums written in the United Kingdom will exceed £200 million ($262.7 million).
Sam Reeder, CEO of Hadron, said: “Our growth this year reflects the strength of Hadron’s model, which balances underwriting discipline with innovation and scale.
“Our specialty insurance platform is designed specifically for delegated authority, combining transparency, speed and long-term alignment, at the pace and scale of our MGA partners, with the oversight and stability that reinsurers expect.”
The international division, led by Colin Johnson, currently has 20 members with further hiring expected in early 2026. The upcoming EU launch is being prepared by an expanded leadership team, including the recent appointments of Amélie Breitburd and Pascal Van Eyken as independent non-executive directors and David Franco as chief risk officer. The launch is subject to regulatory approval.
Johnson commented: “We are investing in people, technology and governance structure to support sustainable growth across borders, ensuring our partners benefit from the same strength and speed that define Hadron globally. We are excited to have Amélie, Pascal and David join our platform as we look to expand into Europe.”
Hadron currently manages approximately 50 insurance programs and expects premium volumes to increase significantly in 2026.
