According to a release from MIB, the insurance brokerage firm is once again placing full confidence in the athletes, their trainers, and Brand Jamaica by setting aside a significant sum to ensure the team is well-financed for their Olympic preparations.

Levar Smith, president and chief executive officer of Marathon, expressed his enthusiasm for supporting Jamaican athletes at the Jamaica Olympic Association (JOA) launch of the Paris 2024 Olympics campaign at the Terra Nova Hotel in St Andrew.

“Our Jamaican athletes have demonstrated resounding and perpetual success despite being citizens of one of the smallest countries competing on the international track,” said Smith. “This is one of the many things that highlight our country and makes all of us proud to be Jamaican. The resounding success of Jamaican athletes is one of the many things that is right with our country.”

It is committed to inspiring and supporting the Jamaican people

Marathon, recognized as one of the fastest-growing Jamaican companies, prides itself on innovation and excellent service. It is committed to inspiring and supporting the Jamaican people through the provision of affordable insurance solutions for motor vehicles and other assets.

“Like our athletes, Marathon is committed to working hard to achieve success. As our name suggests, we are in this for the long run and have demonstrated a track record of leveraging technology to provide convenient, accessible, and affordable insurance coverage to all Jamaicans. We are focused on achieving a standard that is nothing but the best,” noted Smith.

Smith further emphasized the significance of the Olympic Games as a global platform that embodies the essence of striving for greatness and inspiring others. “The world in which we live today is constantly facing adversity as well as social and political challenges (not to mention war). In these times, the Olympic spirit is called upon to shine even brighter than ever and to remind us of our shared humanity and the need to enhance our capacity to overcome the daunting obstacles that face us today,” said Smith.

Marathon’s pursuit of excellence is reflected in its tailored insurance solutions designed to meet the needs of every motorist, whether operating private vehicles or public commuter transport. The brokerage also offers affordable financing options for insurance policies for all its clients.
