Insurer Markel International has announced the appointment of two new managing directors within its professional and financial risk division.

David Jones and David Armes, who both joined Markel in 2001, have been instrumental within the professional liability arm, the company said.

The corporation saw its gross written premiums fall by 5% to £700m last year after being hit hard by heavy hurricane losses.

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
