Why markel care?

Care providers, such as our 10,000 care policyholders, are an essential part of making sure that the vulnerable members of our society are getting the help they need. These dedicated organisations need a dedicated insurance solution to match. We have extensive experience of the UK’s care sector, meaning we understand the sector-specific risks faced by those in the industry. Using this experience, we’ve specifically designed Markel Care to protect against the unique risks that care organisations face.


Markel Care also includes additional services as standard to help our care policyholders navigate their everyday challenges.
