Macquarie Insurance Facility (MIF) has announced its intention to launch Longbrook Insurance (Longbrook), a multi-line underwriting business, backed by highly-rated carriers.
Part of Macquarie Asset Management, MIF is a global insurance aggregator. It aggregates approximately $US1.8 billion of premium spend annually from participating private equity, infrastructure, energy and real estate firms.
Headquartered in London, Longbrook will launch two core lines of business in early 2026 – transaction liability insurance and energy insurance. The transaction liability insurance business will provide mergers and acquisitions insurance solutions, including warranty and indemnity and tax liability insurance. Longbrook’s energy insurance offering will provide property damage and business interruption coverage for the construction and operation of energy assets, with a focus on the energy transition. Both lines of business will support clients worldwide1.
Longbrook aims to offer long-term insurance solutions to its clients by providing access to a differentiated distribution platform and enhanced risk management insights and by leveraging MIF’s extensive network of relationships with leading global insurers and brokers.
As part of the launch of Longbrook, Shaun Reynolds joins as Head of Transaction Liability bringing to the role more than two decades of experience in M&A and underwriting. Prior to joining Longbrook, Shaun held a number of underwriting roles, including at AIG and at London-headquartered and Lloyd’s Syndicate-backed Volante Global, where he built and managed a portfolio of transaction liability risks.
Nick Wilski, Global Head of Macquarie Insurance Facility, said: “Effective risk management is a crucial element to delivering value on investments, and Longbrook is the next step in MIF’s strategy to offer diversified solutions to our clients. Longbrook’s team will have deep underwriting expertise in managing transaction liability and energy infrastructure risks. They’ll be well placed to build on the strong foundations of our distribution model and extensive relationships with brokers to develop best-in-class solutions to the benefit of our clients.”
And he’s convinced that playing an active role in the community is fundamental to making this happen. “If you want to be sustainable, you need to be part of the community you operate in – not tolerated, but welcomed,” says Jeff. “Having proud employees needs to extend to being proud outside of the time you’re at work. We aspire to having employees that are proud in their community and proud to put on an AkzoNobel shirt. That’s got to be a good thing for us all. We’re the fortunate ones – we have jobs, health, resources, access to skills to be able to support others – if we can’t help, then who will? Hope, of course, is an apt name for a building designed to help shape the future of young people. And at the formal naming ceremony, which was held at the site of the new building, Jeff etched a message into the concrete. What did he want to pass on to the students of the future? “The message was about saying if you want something enough, there is a way to achieve it. That’s why hope is important. A lot of people might feel like things aren’t possible, but they are. Anything is. The people that think it isn’t possible are the ones that need the most help and warmth. You’re born into a world you haven’t chosen so you have make the most of it – no one should be left behind.”

To connect potential suppliers with buyers of hydrogen and its derivatives in the EU, the Commission is, today, launching the first call for interest under the Hydrogen Mechanism.
Hydrogen and its derivatives can play an important role for sectors that are hard to decarbonise and contribute to the EU reaching climate neutrality by 2050. The mechanism covers renewable or low-carbon hydrogen and derivatives such as ammonia, methanol, certain aviation fuels (eSAF) and eMethane.
The mechanism offers a number of advantages
Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Dan Jørgensen said:
“Today’s call marks a new chapter in the EU’s support to the European industry and its competitive decarbonisation through renewable and low-carbon hydrogen.
By connecting buyers and sellers, this hydrogen mechanism will help us create a cleaner and competitive future for our energy and our economy.”
Submission phase: Opening 12 November 2025 until 2 January 2026. Suppliers are invited to submit supply offers.
Publication of call for interest: 19 January 2026. Publication of anonymised information sheets about the supply offers.
Expression of interest: Opening 19 January 2026

Hydrogen plays an important role in decarbonising industrial processes and industries for which reducing carbon emissions is both urgent and hard to achieve.
The Regulation on the internal markets for renewable gas, natural gas and hydrogen (EU/2024/1789) mandates the Commission to set up and operate a mechanism under the European Hydrogen Bank to support the market development of hydrogen for a limited duration until the end of 2029.
On 2 July 2025, the Commission launched the new EU Energy and Raw Materials Platform to empower European companies to procure energy-related products in an effective way.
It offers solutions to collect demand, and supply offers from companies and provide aggregation and matchmaking services. It can result in joint purchasing for a wide range of energy-related products as well as strategic raw materials.
