Insurance software specialist Acturis has added Markel’s contractors combined solution to its distribution platform. The solution provides professional indemnity, public liability and employers’ liability covers as well as access to legal support and guidance on a range of HR, debt recovery and business issues.

Simon De Ferry, chief insurance products officer at Acturis, said: “Contractors combined has been significantly underserved for many years, and so we’re pleased to strengthen our relationship with Markel and bring this proposition to the market. Markel’s contractors combined solution is a fantastic example of a specialist insurer-led solution designed with broker and customer needs in mind.”

Martin Parker, head of construction underwriting at Markel, added: “Working with Acturis to make our contractors combined offering available through their platform is an important step in our distribution strategy.”
