Ironshore Inc. announced that Antares Syndicate 1274 at Lloyd’s will join as a subscribing insurer for Bermuda-based Iron-Starr Excess Agency Ltd.

Iron-Starr is a managing general agency (MGA), which underwrites specialty lines of business on behalf of Ironshore Insurance Ltd., Starr Insurance & Reinsurance Ltd. and Hamilton Re Ltd.

“Antares is a significant new partner for the Iron-Starr Agency and further bolsters the availability of syndicated capacity. This partnership enhances our ability to offer deeper market solutions and capacity to our clients,” stated Kevin H. Kelley, chief executive officer of Ironshore.
