Markel has joined forces with mea to improve underwriting processes across its international wholesale operations.

mea is a GenAI-powered platform that aims to simplify insurance processes by automating activities using advanced natural language processing and machine learning techniques to extract unstructured data from submission-related documents and turn it into structured data that can be analysed and interpreted.

Speaking about the new partnership, Martin Henley, CEO at mea platform, said: “We are very excited to embark on this new partnership with Markel and are looking forward to what we can achieve together. This agreement is a testament to our mutual commitment to providing transformative solutions and exceeding our clients’ expectations.”

Carys Lawton-Bryce, international chief operations officer at Markel, added: “Technology transformation is at the forefront of our strategic ambitions at Markel. Our ability to leverage the type of AI technology that mea platform brings, will enable us to provide better, more efficient and speedier service for our clients and brokers.”
