Acturis, the UK’s leading SaaS provider for general insurance, is providing brokers with access to specialist cover for the UK’s 170,000 charities. Markel’s Charities Combined solution will be available on their award-winning insurance distribution platform from today, Tuesday 10th February, enabling brokers to fully meet the complex needs of UK’s charities. The launch aligns with Markel’s 2030 growth strategy to expand eTrade capabilities, enabling ease of trading for brokers.
Markel’s e-Trade solution is for charities with up to £2m in turnover who provide a wide variety of services such as counselling, nurseries, trade associations, training providers, and youth groups. The modular product has been built for the evolving needs of these organisations. Charities with a turnover above £2m, are serviced by Markel’s open market offering Markel Care.
As well as a comprehensive suite of standard covers, Markel’s solution also addresses many bespoke risks the sector faces, including the use of volunteers, trustee & governance protection, and safeguarding. An extensive cyber risks option is also available for what is an area of increasing concern for the sector.
Acturis empowers brokers to deliver real value and the right cover through smart, efficient trading. We’re excited to welcome Markel’s charity solution to our platform.
This is a fantastic proposition that provides the specialist covers charities of all sizes need—ensuring they, their teams, and their beneficiaries are fully protected. It also reflects Acturis’ commitment to expanding into new areas of e-trade, giving brokers more opportunities to serve diverse sectors with confidence.
Simon De Ferry, Chief Insurance Products Officer, Acturis

We are very pleased to launch Charities Combined on Acturis and give brokers, what we believe, is one of the most comprehensive and flexible solutions for this sector on the market today. We look forward to supporting many more brokers and protecting their charity customers in the months and years ahead.
