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-million 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.
