Markel Underwriting Managers specializes in the brokered Excess and Surplus Lines arena, operating through an exclusive network of approved wholesale brokers. As our name suggests, our core competency is underwriting, a skill we enjoy practicing every day. Our goal is to consider most of our risks on an individual basis. This allows the expertise of our underwriters to design for you a sellable product which provides the ultimate consumer with "peace of mind" and provides us with the underwriting profit we need to succeed.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Markel Corporation, we are able to utilize all of Markel's financial resources and writing companies to provide you with a selection of admitted and non-admitted insurance products in the areas of primary casualty, property, excess and umbrella, environmental liability, taxi liability, surety reinsurance and special programs.

Since being acquired in 1996, all of our associates have operated within an atmosphere known internally as THE MARKEL STYLE. This "style" is our way of doing business and we hope that you find it refreshing as we work together in this hectic marketplace. We are proud of our Company and its ongoing success and invite you to join us in learning a little bit more about the products we offer and the unique style in which we offer them.
