Markel Specialty Commercial
the Markel Style
Tell us about Markel Specialty Commercial:
Markel Specialty Commercial is one of five Markel insurance divisions and,
by design, has been built by acquiring and combining the strengths of
proven companies such as FirstComp and THOMCO.
Markel Specialty Commercial offers independent agencies A-rated, multisolution products throughout the U.S. With 283 competitive mono-line
workers’ compensation classes and over 20 specialized package programs,
our blend of solutions is unique to the marketplace. Meaningful, lasting
relationships are the heart of who we are.
What brought Markel Specialty Commercial to Kansas?
Success through innovation, long-term stability, and a dedication to valuing relationships has fueled Markel’s growth since 1930. This continued
success has allowed for expanded focus, additional resources, and an
increased competitiveness in states we have not targeted in the past.
As Sales Manager, I’m lucky to have the opportunity to relocate to Kansas
to lead our growth here. I am the main contact on our reinforced overall
Kansas team and believe we will achieve our goal of being the best and
most responsive team to do business with.
What makes Markel Specialty unique?
Our broad 283 class mono-line work comp appetite, ability to write all lines
of business in areas such as lawn & pest, child care, health clubs, museums
& historical buildings, non-profits, etc., and our specialized package coverages on 20 programs is unique to the marketplace.
I hear appreciation daily from our agents on our quoting system, which
was designed by independent agents, as being the fastest and most userfriendly to submit, bind and navigate.
The ability to communicate with underwriting, offer a wide variety of payment plans including PayGo, competitively write startups on all classes,
and have no minimum premiums also regularly come up as differentiators.
At the end of the day, we believe people make the difference –
“At Markel, we are guided and inspired by our corporate compass, the Markel Style.
We believe strongly that values such as honesty, hard work, and disdain for bureaucracy are as important and relevant today as they have ever been. Integrity is nonnegotiable with us, and we are committed to being open minded and transparent.”
