Case Studies

 

Darren sells fruit and vegetables at a farmers market in Bristol and his is looking to also take a permanent stall at Bath Farmers Market which will be run by his wife. Darren currently has Public and Products Liability insurance with CMTIA. 

As both markets will run on the same days, he will need to purchase a second policy to cover the Bath market. He does not require Employers’ Liability as his only employee is his wife, but she will need to be named on the policy.



Alex has a stall selling children’s clothes and toys at a market in Cardiff every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and at a different market in Newport on Thursdays. Alex would also like to trade on Saturdays and is researching street markets in her area. It is likely she will trade at a different market each weekend. 

Alex already has Public and Products Liability insurance with a limit of indemnity of £10,0,00,000. In this situation, Alex’s policy would continue to be sufficient, and she does not need to inform us of the changes.
