Markel UK has unveiled a social welfare insurance policy called Markel Care which gives policyholders access to a range of additional professional and business support services. 

Markel already covers 10,000 care homes and facilities across the UK and said the new product targets care sector providers including care and day centres, counselling and therapy services and nurseries and play groups. 

It highlighted that Markel Care gives policyholders access to six new areas of business and commercial support, on the same terms as the insurance cover alone. The insurer also said the new policy gives brokers access to a unique portal for sector specific content and resources. 

The new product will be revealed to brokers at the British Insurance Brokers’ Association’s conference in Manchester in May.
