LONDON, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Markel, the insurance operations within Markel Group Inc. (NYSE: MKL), has appointed Oliver Atkin to Head of Bloodstock in London, effective immediately. This investment decision in leadership underlines the organisation’s long-term commitment to the equine and livestock market, through top-tier underwriting talent and creating bespoke insurance solutions for clients.
Atkin will lead the Bloodstock team in London by setting the Bloodstock growth strategy as well as identifying and developing innovative products, to support brokers and customers in the bloodstock space. Alongside those duties, he’ll continue building on new and existing broker relationships, while maintaining high service levels which are valued by Markel’s broker partners and their policyholders.
Atkin joined Markel as a Bloodstock underwriter over six years ago, during which time he has demonstrated exceptional leadership and portfolio management skills, all of which led to his recent appointment. In his new post, he will continue operating from Markel’s London office and reporting directly to Juliet Redfern, Divisional Managing Director of Equine and Livestock at Markel International in London and France.
Redfern commented: “Congratulations to Ollie Atkin on his well-deserved promotion to Head of Bloodstock in London. Ollie is incredibly service-minded and works, as everyone does in our team, to provide the high level of service our brokers and customers get and expect from Markel; from providing a quote, to collaborating with a customer on a new product or service.
Ollie has a particular interest in National Hunt racing and is developing new solutions for this under-insured market sector – with his knowledge and expertise on this subject being key to developing these policies.”
Redfern concluded: “Ollie’s promotion to this leadership role reflects our long-term outlook for Equine and Livestock at Markel, and under his leadership, it will also give everyone in the team the opportunity to develop and progress, so we can continue driving profitable growth and being there for customers year in, year out into the future.”

Healthcare leaders gather at House of Commons to discuss productivity-boosting tech with MyStaff app
LONDON, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Healthcare leaders from 16 NHS trusts gathered at the House of Commons this week to see how Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is using a groundbreaking new app that transforms staff access to information vital to their patients’ care.
The MyStaff app uses AI and automation to simplify the management of critical policies and procedures, reducing the time staff spend searching for information from almost 10 minutes to under 30 seconds. Over 12,000 of the Trust’s staff have signed up, and around 1,000 are using the app daily.
With £2bn pledged to help digitise the NHS and bring down waiting lists, such time-saving tech is high on healthcare’s agenda. Trust Chief Executive Matthew Hopkins introduced the session, which was hosted by David Burton-Sampson, MP for Southend West and Leigh, and saw technology strategists and users share their experiences of digitising vital healthcare operations.
Matthew said: “Our Trust is working to make the best use of digital technologies wherever this can help staff to provide the best possible care to our patients. MyStaff app is a versatile and easy-to-use tool that improves our governance processes and makes it easy for staff to access the vital clinical information they need when treating patients.”
The Trust developed MyStaff app with digital innovators Diligram, who have created a digital governance solution that helps ensure staff use the latest policies and guidance when delivering patient care. Document compliance rates have grown from 60% to 98%, whilst projections indicate the app could release 55,000 hours’ worth of staff capacity over 3 years, worth almost £4m in staff costs and giving staff more time on patient-facing care.
Diligram CEO Leslie Golding said: “We have worked closely with the Trust on developing groundbreaking technology that supports our healthcare heroes by simplifying access to essential information. We’re proud to be part of this brilliant example of positive digital change.”
