New Lloyd’s broker prepares launch

Marken Re Specialty is a new specialty insurance and reinsurance broker that is set to be launched soon by Pieter Vlasbloem.

Marken Re will be an authorised representative of Dublon Insurance Brokers which was formed in 2006 and is approved by the UK’s Financial Services Authority (FSA) and admitted as a Lloyd’s broker in 2007, according to the website.

“I am pleased to announce the establishment of a specialty re/insurance broker,” said Vlasbloem, managing director at Marken Re on his LinkedIn profile.

The specialty areas that Marken Re wants to target include trade & investment credit, surety and political risks, as well as agriculture and energy.

“These areas are however not a limitation of our capacities and possibilities, we serve our clients reliably and professionally for all their re/insurance requirements,” Vlasbloem explained.

Previously, Vlasbloem has been CEO of NDI Insurance & Reinsurance Brokers and managing director at NDI Takaful & Retakaful, according to the LinkedIn profile.
