Markel, the insurance business of Markel Group Inc., a global specialty insurer providing insurance, reinsurance and investment services, has announced the appointment of Amy Martin as senior claims adjuster – Warranty and Indemnity (W&I) within Markel International, the division responsible for its international operations.
Based in London, Martin will be responsible for complex, high-value claims across Markel International’s trading liability portfolio, including warranty and indemnity, contingencies and tax.
The company said she will work closely with its underwriting, actuarial and reinsurance teams, as well as managing agents, policyholders and service partners across multiple jurisdictions, to help strengthen the insurer’s coordinated claims services for brokers and clients operating in an increasingly complex trading environment.
Martin will also contribute to the development of its claims value proposition by supporting clients and brokers throughout the claim lifecycle. She will leverage claims insights to help inform contract wording, coverage development and renewal strategies while supporting greater transparency and responsiveness throughout the claims process. The company added that she will work closely with brokers and partners to promote consistency and clarity in claims processing.
Martin will report to Rachel Nestor, Markel International’s Claims Manager – Management and Trading Liability, Networks and Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT).
Jonathan Pestell, Head of Specialty, Financial Risk and Cyber Claims at Markel International, added: “As trading risks become more complex and interconnected, clients and brokers are increasingly looking for clarity, consistency and expertise in claims processes. Amy’s strong legal background and hands-on experience in claims across complex financial sectors will enable us to deliver exactly this.”
“Her ability to explain coverage, challenge assumptions and work with teams will further enhance the service and support we provide brokers and clients.”
Martin has over 10 years’ experience in insurance claims and legal consulting in both private practice and in-house roles.
Most recently, she worked as a Senior Claims Adjuster at Chubb, where she managed complex UK and international professional indemnity claims. As a qualified solicitor, she has extensive experience in handling primary and additional tier multi-jurisdictional claims and has developed strong relationships in the London insurance market.
