Castle Triathlon Series

Sponsors

Makel Sponsor Logo Castle Triathlon

We are delighted to announce that Markel, a worldwide specialist insurer with a range of sporting interests, has agreed to be our title sponsor for the Hever Castle Triathlon throughout the 2012 and 2013 series. Markel will lend its name to all our triathlons, which will now be called the Markel Castle Triathlon Series. Markel provides coverage across a number of niche fields, both for wholesale and retail insurance, and its products include event coverage, professional liability and accident and health insurance.

The company has an equine and livestock division, which has led to a close association with the racing world. In addition to sponsoring top jockeys William Buick and Sam Thomas, Markel sponsors races at Glorious Goodwood. The company also sponsors an annual charity boxing event in London, and has interests in football and rugby. In Canada, it is the part owner of All Sport, one of the country’s leading sports insurers. The Markel brand is built on a simple but powerful concept: ‘bold ideas, honest actions’. It’s a principle that resonates nicely with the triathlon spirit of bold effort and honest endeavour.
