Tom Gayner

Thank you, Manny. I appreciate it. Good morning and welcome, everyone, to the Markel Corporation’s second quarter conference call. We’re pleased that you’re joining us as we all look forward to sharing the good news of our substantial year-to-date progress in 2012 and building the value of your company.

Over the past several years, we’ve been telling you about the transformation underway at Markel. We’ve told you about the growth of our insurance operations through entry into new geographical areas, our new products, and our acquisitions. We’ve told you about our focus on improving the operating efficiencies in our business and how we’ve restructured the company to increase our revenues from existing customers.
