About Us
Solvera was established in 2025, by insurance experts with over 50-years of industry experience.
It is an FCA regulated intermediary. David Gallagher was Country Head for XL Catlin/AXA XL and Stuart
Middleton was European CUO for Hiscox and Great American. Together they identified this
opportunity and brought in Dominic Keogh on board from a solar start-up to provide the necessary
insights into the customer and installer marketplace.
