region over the past few years. Jack's extensive experience across
the specialty insurance market and broker engagement will be a huge
asset as we continue our growth trajectory in the region."

who adds: "It's a delight to welcome Jack to Markel. He has an
impressive profile in the Singapore market and I've no doubt he'll
strengthen Markel's links and engagement with our broker partners,
