Specialist insurer Markel is preparing to open a branch office in Rotterdam this September. It will be Markel’s first Dutch office.
Markel International Netherlands will be built around a team of 21 insurance professionals with strong experience in the Dutch marketplace. The office will specialise in professional indemnity insurance, directors’ and officers’ insurance, general liability and engineering insurance.
The Dutch team will be overseen by Steve Carroll, formerly the divisional managing director of Markel’s retail practice in the UK and now head of Markel International’s retail business both in the UK and overseas.
Commenting on the move into the Netherlands, William Stovin, chief operating officer of Markel International, said: “Our aim is to take Markel into new countries and regions, extending the niche insurance products that Markel is renowned for. When an experienced team of insurance specialists in the Netherlands wished to join us, we saw it as a great opportunity to establish our name in a new country and widen our role in Europe."
