Markel Wins Specialist Insurance Company of the Year at the British Insurance Awards

We’re delighted to announce that Markel has been named Specialist Insurance Company of the Year at the prestigious British Insurance Awards, held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. With such strong competition, this recognition reflects our deep sector expertise and enduring commitment to the UK’s care sector.

For over three decades, we’ve worked shoulder to shoulder with care, charity, and education providers – supporting more than 10,000 organisations as they navigate rising demand, funding pressures and workforce shortages. This award is a testament to the trust they place in us and the difference we strive to make every day.

Our specialist insurance solution offers comprehensive protection tailored to the sector’s unique risks, including cover for abuse, medical malpractice and employer responsibility. But we know that insurance alone isn’t enough.

That’s why we go further, offering value-added support through Markel Consultancy Services. This includes access to experienced care practitioners and health & safety experts who help customers prevent claims and meet regulatory standards set by the Care Quality Commission and Ofsted. Additional support is available through our Business Hub, legal and tax helplines, and our dedicated care team at Markel Law.

The UK care sector continues to face significant challenges. We remain committed to standing alongside these vital organisations, helping them protect what matters most and continue delivering essential services to those who need them most.

This award builds on our recent successes at the British Claims Awards where Markel was named Commercial Lines Insurer of the Year for the second consecutive year and the Insurance Times Awards, where we won both Specialist Insurer of the Year and Excellence in Risk Mitigation.

These industry accolades highlight the value we deliver to our customers and reinforce our commitment to putting Markel firmly on the map in the UK.
