Director, Financial Institutions and Management Liability

Office
London, UK

Martin McCarron joined Markel in December 2014 as Senior Underwriter and Head of the Financial Institutions team. He spent the first couple of years of his career as a marine hull insurance broker before moving to financial institutions in 1997 with Nelson Hurst, which subsequently became Lockton. In 2009 he made the switch to underwriting, working with Catlin for 5 years before joining Markel. Martin is responsible for the overall strategy and management of the financial institutions and management liability portfolios, building strong relationships in the market and developing products and initiatives.

Martin attended Dartford Grammar School in Kent, which is where he lives with his wife and two sons. He also enjoys playing golf and wishes he could play the piano.

“When I joined Markel I was struck by how empowered people were to make decisions to drive growth and innovation, and I am proud that after so many years this is still very much the case.”
