Launched in January 2026 by Ardonagh Europe, a division of the Ardonagh Group, the platform brings together previously separate MGA businesses under a unified brand and operating structure. The name is derived from the Celtic "Or" (gold) and Latin "Via" (path). The platform underwrites across 20+ product lines spanning Financial Lines, Property and Casualty, Specialty Risks, and High Net Worth and Fine Art. Capacity is provided through Ardonagh Group relationships and third-party carrier partners. The combined portfolio exceeded EUR 250 million in gross written premium at launch. Distribution follows a wholesale and retail broker model serving the London Market and pan-European broker networks. Geographic operations extend across Ireland (headquarters in Dublin and Cork), the United Kingdom (London), Germany, and the Netherlands. In May 2026, Orvia expanded its Dutch presence by integrating three entities -- Classicus Europe BV, Private Insurance Assuradeuren (PIA), and Private Insurance Nederland (PIN) -- and opened a second Netherlands location in Rotterdam. The platform is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland (Firm Reference Number: C433998) and the UK Financial Conduct Authority (Firm Reference Number: 944662). ## Products & services ### Financial Lines Professional Indemnity, Cyber and Intellectual Property, and Fidelity and Crime coverage for brokers and clients across London and international markets. **Key features:** - Professional Indemnity - Cyber and Intellectual Property - Fidelity and Crime *Target users:* Commercial clients requiring financial lines protection across London and European markets *Distribution:* Wholesale and retail brokers in the London Market and pan\-European networks ### Property and Casualty Specialist Property and Casualty solutions across London and European markets for complex and non-standard risk profiles. **Key features:** - Commercial Property - General Liability and Casualty - Complex and non\-standard risk profiles *Target users:* Commercial property and casualty risks across European markets *Distribution:* London Market and European wholesale brokers ### Specialty Risks Tailored coverage for specialist and non-standard risks across multiple specialist lines. **Key features:** - Political Violence and Terrorism - Forestry - Aviation Loss of License - Surety - Marine Cargo - Trade Credit *Target users:* Clients with complex specialty risk needs worldwide *Distribution:* Specialist wholesale brokers ### High Net Worth, Fine Art, Jewellery and Specie Specialist coverage for high-value assets including personal lines, art, jewellery, and specie risks. **Key features:** - High Net Worth Personal Lines - Fine Art - Jewellers Block - General Specie - Cash in Transit *Target users:* High net worth individuals and institutions with high\-value asset portfolios *Distribution:* Specialist retail and wholesale brokers ## Links - Website: - Directory profile: - News: - About: - Contact: - Linkedin: - Solutions: --- *Last updated: 2026\-06\-15*
