Blenheim Partnerships is excited to announce the launch of a new Bloodstock division, further strengthening our specialist MGA platform and commitment to providing innovative solutions across niche markets.
The new team will be led by Tara Woodward as Bloodstock Underwriter, alongside Madeline Long as Bloodstock Underwriting Assistant. Together, they bring nearly 35 years of combined experience, delivering unparalleled expertise in the underwriting of high-value equine risks. Their specialist focus includes the mortality of breeding and racing thoroughbreds, high-value sports and show horses, and fertility assessments of new thoroughbred stallion prospects.
Following an amicable departure from Ryan Specialty Group, this new Bloodstock operation will continue under a binding authority agreement backed by Lloyd’s capacity, including Blenheim Syndicate 5886.
Woodward joins Blenheim Partnerships following her role as Head of Bloodstock at Castel Specialty, with prior experience at Novae Plc. Long also transitions from Castel Specialty, bringing additional depth to the team.
The addition of this Bloodstock portfolio builds upon Blenheim Partnerships’ existing suite of specialist MGA trading units, which includes energy liability, builders’ risk, management liability, and aviation.
This expansion reflects Blenheim’s vision to empower entrepreneurial underwriting teams through strategic collaboration. Established in 2019, Blenheim Partnerships provides a dynamic MGA platform backed by both Lloyd’s and Non-Lloyd’s capacity, creating an environment where expertise and innovation thrive.
