Markel is proud to be the headline sponsor of the Brownlee Foundation, an organisation founded by Olympic triathletes Alistair and Jonny Brownlee.
The foundation aims to inspire children to lead active, healthy lifestyles through the sport of triathlon. This partnership is a perfect reflection of Markel’s “People Powered” brand positioning, showcasing our commitment to empowering individuals and communities to achieve their best and win together. Together with the Brownlee Foundation, we are helping create opportunities for young people across the UK to experience the joy of sport and develop confidence that lasts a lifetime.
As part of this exciting partnership, Markel employees have the chance to bring “People Powered” to life by using one of their three paid volunteering days to support Brownlee Foundation events. From assisting with triathlon activities to supporting young participants, these opportunities allow you to make a tangible difference in the lives of children experiencing the magic of their first triathlon. Held in communities across the UK, these events are a meaningful way to connect with others, support local initiatives, and embody the Markel style of collaboration and care. Whether you’re cheering from the sidelines or helping organise the day, your involvement helps empower the next generation and demonstrates the power of people working together for a greater purpose.
