Northern exposure
Anne-Sofia Hedin, general manager of Markel International
Sweden, explains the Nordic approach to risk, and why Markel is an ideal local insurer.
In the Nordic region, purchasers of insurance in the retail and SME markets usually obtain all their coverage, including property, liability and transport, from a single provider. Often a property insurer will be the core provider, servicing all the other insurance needs of a client.
When Markel International Sweden acquired Globen Försäkringar in May 2011, it enabled Markel's regional business to exploit this local trait and provide the type of packaged solutions, with cross-selling opportunities, that the local marketplace seeks.
Globen focuses on property, casualty and accident and health insurance for small and medium-sized businesses. Products are distributed through a network of brokers across Sweden and the emphasis is on niche sectors where specialist products are required.
Our Globen team has a reputation for delivering a highly focused and individually tailored service, which fits perfectly with our clients expectations. We offer direct access to underwriters and a wide range of expertise in specialist areas, giving our clients a better understanding of their risks and the most appropriate solutions for their needs.
Not surprisingly, clients see speedy response times and high quality claims handling as top requirements in an insurer. At Markel, we never forget the importance of speed and customer service, and our underwriting and claims teams work very closely
with brokers to ensure there are no information gaps or misunderstandings. Personal attention is fundamental to our business and a key
feature of the Markel brand.
