Chill was founded in 2006 by brothers Padraig and Seamus Lynch and has subsequently grown into the largest independent personal lines insurance broker in Ireland with over 200,000 policyholders, representing a 6% market share.

Chill has successfully disrupted the Irish personal lines insurance market through its strong brand and multi-channel distribution capabilities, offering high-quality service, whole of market choice through a panel of 14 major insurance carriers at competitive prices direct to its customers. Chill’s success is underpinned by its best-in-class IT infrastructure; it has invested over £10m in the last four years to support its growth plans and stay ahead of the competition.

Led by CEO Michael McLaughlin, Chill’s leadership team has created a strong entrepreneurial culture that has seen it continuously strengthen its proposition. Chill’s rapid organic growth has been complemented by tactical M&A; in 2019 it completed its first acquisition of personal lines insurer Aaran Insurances.

Our investment, made through the Livingbridge 6 fund, builds on our extensive experience in the insurance sector, including Jensten and Kingsbridge.
