Markel Corporation has been in business since the 1920's, and has grown from a small family business to what it is today, a multi-billion dollar international specialty insurance provider. As Markel has grown over the years, its management consciously retained the elements that have been the hallmark of the company. Those elements can be found in the Markel Style and most importantly, in the people Markel employs.

It's not something you can fully appreciate unless you work here at Markel along side our associates, and only then may you start to realize the pride and dedication we take in serving our customers no matter how large or small. Every customer is important. It is true, human capital is a competitive advantage and when truly empowered, the results are impressive. This is what our customers think. It is a testament to our associates and proof that the Markel Style is more than just words on paper:

Trustworthy - Markel stands behind commitments

Responsive - Markel takes the time to understand customer needs and moves quickly to meet them

Smart - Markel takes the sensible approach to underwriting - this means consistent performance

Financially Strong - Financial strength that is reassuring to policyholders

Specialized - Markel writes the kind of risks that many insurance carriers cannot
