Technology provider Acturis has added Markel’s UK management liability package to its platform. Markel said the move was part of its growth strategy to make more products available in electronically traded channels.

The management liability package is aimed at SMEs and offers a range of covers including directors and officers liability, entity defence, employment law protection, fidelity, legal expenses insurance and cyber.

Nick Burgess, head of professional and management risk, UK at Markel, said: “With SMEs operating in an increasingly challenging and litigious environment, our management liability package provides a vital layer of protection for business leaders.

“By combining robust core cover with practical added value services, it gives directors and officers meaningful support when they need it most and confidence to focus on running and growing their operations.”

Simon De Ferry, chief insurance products officer at Acturis, added: “This is the third Markel product to go live on our platform in the last 12 months and reflects the strong momentum behind our partnership.”
