CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Ryan Specialty (NYSE: RYAN) (“Ryan Specialty”), a leading international specialty insurance firm, is pleased to announce that it has acquired 360° Underwriting (“360”), a managing general underwriter specializing in commercial construction. 360 is based in Dublin and Galway, Ireland and will become a part of the Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers division of Ryan Specialty.
Since its founding in 2017, 360 has developed a reputation as leading experts in the expanding Irish construction market. They have developed bespoke modeling practices which both ensure consistency and manage aggregations across the portfolio.

Mark Birrell, Executive Chairman, Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers International, remarked, “Paul and Tommy are well known in the market for their technical underwriting expertise when it comes to construction. Not only are they a perfect fit from a cultural perspective, but they are an excellent complement to our existing latent defect business and a natural entry point for Ryan Specialty to Ireland. We’re excited to welcome them to Ryan Specialty.”
Paul Sherry and Tommy Byrne, Managing Directors of 360, added, “We are thrilled to partner with Ryan Specialty. They are a very well-respected brand in the construction space. The Ryan Specialty Underwriting Managers platform, with its deep resources and cutting-edge support, is the perfect environment for us to expand our offering.
