Re: Help! Wanted Third Party liability Insurance Cover for paid entomological work

I spent a lt of time a couple of years trying to find similar insurance and spoke to many brokers iand specialists ncluding the local NFU. Nobody could really help me apart from giving me a 14 page propsal form and I was wondering if I was ever going to get sorted out.

One firm recommended I try a broker at the other end of the country so I gave the firm a ring. The brokers specialised in insuring musicians and musical instruments! The chap I spoke to was the most helpful of all and asked me what I did, what equipment I used, what cover I needed etc.

He filled in the form and all I had to do was sign it. I cannot understand why other companies cannot look at the business in the same way, discuss the needs of the person and take a punt on the risk. Probably something to do with the lack of a box in the list of jobs called "Entomologist".
