Markel takes trade credit analyst from QBE

Markel International has appointed Rufin Majid as trade credit analyst in its Singapore office.

Majid joins from QBE Insurance, where he was a senior underwriter in credit and surety for two years, undertaking credit analysis on listed companies in Singapore.

Specialising in credit analysis, financing and loan syndication, Majid joins a growing team at Markel’s Singapore office, which represents the firm’s Asian operations alongside its office in Hong Kong.

His appointment follows that of Abhishek Chhajer, who joined the Singapore team last year to develop Markel’s trade credit division in Asia Pacific, and it underlines the company’s plans to build a strong trade credit business in the region.

Markel Singapore managing director Peter Philips said: “Given Rufin’s extensive knowledge of credit assessment, and his wealth of international experience, he’ll be an invaluable contributor to the development of our business.”
