Our story

20Twenty Search was founded as a Search firm with the aim of serving insurance clients globally. In order to differentiate itself from the crowded market, the company identified niche segments of the sector to specialise in. The founders have a combined 35-year history in the market which enabled the company to showcase their vision to C-Suite level decision makers and company founders. Adopting a highly entrepreneurial approach, 20Twenty Search engaged in deeper business discussions with business leaders around

their company’s growth agenda and how 20Twenty Search could play a wider role as a strategic advisor to their business. 20Twenty Search leveraged their powerful network to bring additional services to clients which include securing underwriting capacity, MGA advisory and capital raise facilitation which are all characterised by requiring a strategic and knowledgable “broker”. This suite of services ensures 20Twenty Search is defined as a market leader, working passionately and tirelessly with start-ups, scale-ups and insurance entities that operate in unique and niche areas of the industry.

20Twenty Search’s clients extend across the US, Bermuda, UK and Europe and the company is headquartered in Limerick, Ireland and has an additional office in Barcelona, Spain.
