G
Overview
GGW Group is a European insurance brokerage platform for SMEs that unites owner-managed brokers and MGAs under two umbrella brands. It preserves partner autonomy while providing scale and international reach. Revenue comes from commissions and fees for insurance products, risk consulting, and claims management across its partner network, and growth is driven by acquisitions to consolidate the European market with backing from Hg Capital and Permira. The goal is to accelerate European expansion and build the leading cross-border insurance platform for SMEs.
