    HISTORY

    Markel's origins in the USA date from the early 1920's, when Sam Markel started a business to provide insurance to the transportation industry. Over time, Markel developed more underwriting expertise than many of the insurance companies to which they brokered business. They had so much faith in their own underwriters, they were ready to begin a strategic evolution from insurance broker to risk bearer. It has proven to be a risk well worth taking.
