Arachas has announced a new partnership with Connacht Rugby, continuing the company’s long-standing support for sport and community development across Ireland. Arachas is the country’s largest, nationwide insurance broker with offices in Galway, Sligo and 12 other locations throughout the country.
The collaboration coincides with the official opening of the new Clan Stand at Dexcom Stadium, a landmark development for Connacht Rugby and a significant investment in the sporting and cultural life of Galway and the wider region. As neighbours to the stadium and a major local employer, with over 60 employees in the wider Connacht region, Arachas has welcomed the opportunity to support a project that will deliver lasting benefits for players, supporters and the broader community.
The opening of the Clan Stand took place at Connacht Rugby’s home fixture against Leinster on 24th of January, marking an important moment in the ongoing development of Dexcom Stadium. Arachas congratulates Connacht Rugby on a very successful official opening of the Dexcom Stadium. Arachas sends its best wishes to the club, management, players and supporters for the season ahead as the club continues to build for the future.
Commenting on the announcement, Michael Maloney Regional Director (West) Arachas said, “Arachas believes in supporting communities throughout Ireland and we are delighted to now be associated with Connacht Rugby as it moves to the next phase of its development both on and off the field. We are supporters of rugby and all sports throughout the country. With our strong presence in the city on the Tuam Road, now is the time to support Connacht Rugby and we look forward to working with the Connacht team.
Speaking on behalf of Connacht Rugby Trish Walsh said “We’re proud to welcome Arachas to Connacht Rugby in Business as a Platinum Member. Their drive and vision make them a great addition to our growing network, and we’re excited about the opportunities ahead as we collaborate and support each other’s success.”
With more than 750 employees across 14 locations nationwide, the company is part of The Ardonagh Group, a top 20 global insurance broker with over 12,000 staff across 30 countries, while retaining a strong Irish identity and a clear focus on local engagement.
The redevelopment of Dexcom Stadium represents a positive step forward for the region, and Arachas is proud to be associated with an initiative that reflects ambition, progress and community spirit at its core.
