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.

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