(NYSE:MKL), today announced the appointment of Sebastian Rice to Head of Global Development – Trade Credit, effective immediately. [![Sebastian Rice, Head of Global Development - Trade Credit](https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2981121/Markel_Sebastian_Rice.jpg?p=medium600 "Sebastian Rice, Head of Global Development - Trade Credit")](https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2981121/Markel_Sebastian_Rice.jpg?p=medium600) Sebastian Rice, Head of Global Development – Trade Credit Reporting to Phil Amlot, Global Head of Trade Credit – International, Rice will work closely with him to drive innovative, solution-led underwriting and develop bespoke offerings that respond to evolving market conditions and client needs across Markel’s global hubs. His role will include supporting clients navigating an increasingly complex trade environment shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain disruption and shifting credit risks. Rice will also co-ordinate a global cohort of Trade Credit underwriters across Markel’s offices in New York, Singapore, Dubai and London to align with our key partner relationships. He’ll focus on business development and driving further profitable growth across the UK and Europe, with an emphasis on delivering greater capacity, tailored solutions and enhanced service for brokers and clients. Since joining Markel two years ago, Rice has played a key role in developing new solutions, including Markel’s Non-Cancellable Limits offering, which enables clients to operate with greater certainty in the event of non-payment. In his new role, he’ll build on this momentum to further strengthen Markel’s position as a trade credit insurer of choice for multinational businesses. Commenting on the appointment, Amlot said: "Markel International’s success and sustained growth are driven by colleagues like Seb, who are committed to working alongside our clients to deliver tailored solutions. He takes the time to understand client needs and responds with precision, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. With demand for trade credit insurance at record levels and underwriting conditions becoming increasingly complex, Seb’s expertise and leadership will be invaluable as we help clients navigate increased risk and build enhanced resilience. He’s already strengthened our position across the London and European markets, and I’m confident he’ll bring the same discipline and commercial insight to this global role." Rice added: "I’m proud of the profitable growth we’ve achieved in the London market and continental Europe since joining Markel. In a period defined by shifting supply chains and evolving economic conditions, we’ve focused on being a consistent and reliable partner for our brokers and clients. This progress reflects the dedication and expertise of our underwriters. I look forward to leading the next phase of our global development and continuing to deliver solutions that support our clients’ ambitions." Rice brings more than 20 years of underwriting experience, having held roles at Euler Hermes, Atradius and QBE Europe. He joined Markel in January 2024 as Head of Business Development Europe – Trade Credit, where he strengthened the International division’s non-payment protection offering across the UK and continental Europe. **About Markel Insurance** We are Markel Insurance, a leading global specialty insurer with a truly people-first approach.
