21st May 2025. We are proud to announce an exciting new chapter in the Brady Insurance story. Today Brady Insurance completed the acquisition of Mannion Insurance, a long-established brokerage based in Strokestown, Co. Roscommon.. This move marks a significant step in our continued growth and deepens our commitment to personalised, relationship-driven insurance solutions—at a time when our industry is seeing fast-paced consolidation.
Both Brady Insurance and Mannion Insurance share common values: we are family-owned, Irish-run, and deeply connected to our local communities. We believe that the future of insurance lies in trust, local knowledge, and human connection—something both firms have championed for decades.
A Shared Vision for Independent Irish Insurance
“Mannion Insurance is a natural fit for us,” says Jane Brady, Managing Director of Brady Insurance. “They’ve spent over 40 years building strong client relationships and earning trust. We’re honoured to continue that legacy and build on what Jim and Denise Mannion created. Our goal is to be custodians they can be proud of.”
With this acquisition, we aim to bring fresh energy to the Mannion business while retaining the core values that have made it a trusted name in Roscommon and beyond. Our experienced management team will introduce new ideas, enhanced digital capabilities, and expanded resources to benefit all clients—without losing the personal service Mannion Insurance is known for.
What This Means for Mannion Customers
The Strokestown office will remain open, with the current team continuing to serve clients as before. There will be no disruption to existing policies or services—just more support and broader access to a range of personal, commercial, and specialist insurance options.
Jim Mannion, founder of Mannion Insurance, said, “We chose Brady Insurance because they share our dedication to personal service and community values. This is the right step for our clients, our team, and the future of independent broking in Ireland.”
A Growing National Footprint with Local Roots
With headquarters in Leitrim and an office in Dublin, Brady Insurance now employs over 40 people and manages over €21 million in gross written premiums annually. We serve both personal and commercial clients and operate a specialist underwriting division, Brady Underwriting, known for digital innovations such as EventInsure.ie.
As Jane Brady puts it: “There’s room in this industry for the big players, but there’s also a vital place for firms like ours—rooted in community, fuelled by ambition, and driven by relationships. We’re big enough to deliver, but small enough to know your name. We are thrilled that Mannions are now part of the company, afterall our roots started in Elphin, Co. Roscommon in 1959”
Welcome to the next chapter of local, independent insurance—stronger together.
