“I am looking forward to working with a company that has such an international footprint,” said Marshall. “The challenge to create a market leading product and work closely with Alex and Pippa is one I am looking forward to and will relish.”
“The media industry is growing rapidly and, as a result, there’s a lot of demand in the market for a product that meets all clients’ needs,” commented Alex Clegg, who joined Markel’s personal accident, contingency and entertainment team last year. “We are delighted to be able to develop an offering that does this.”
Markel specialty and financial lines division managing director, James Hastings, said: “We are building a team with the capabilities and capacity to look after a wide range of the insurance needs of companies in the media sector. The team brings together the expertise to deliver an integrated product designed to meet the needs of brokers and insureds alike.”
