By GlobalData“Our Pen partnership continues to complement Markel’s existing equine footprint in the UK.”
Pen said its products are tailor-made for a range of different segments of the equestrian market such as happy hackers, trade associations, eventing and local riding clubs, among others.
The products are distributed through Pen’s equine-specialist delegated authority partners.
Pen Underwriting delegated solutions commercial director Seb Simmonds said: “Partnering with Markel, as a renowned equine specialist, with such a strong reputation and track record in developing policy enhancements, has proved a brilliant way to ensure our coverholders — all of whom are equestrian specialists in their own right — and end customers receive the full benefit of our collective expertise.”
