Default Recommended Insurance

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good insurance company to go for. I'd like a fairly comprehensive cover for professional indemnity, public liability, illness, etc. I had a quick look at the Contractor UK recommended Caunce O'Hara, but the quote was looking like it was coming in at over a £1K per year...

cheers

I use Qdos Consulting, last time I looked they were the cheapest than any I could find.

PCG offer discounted rates around £200 for basic PI/PL/EL cover with Randall Dorling ( at least I think it's them ).

I've got £1m prof indemnity. Think £100,000 is on the low side though I can never get a straight answer for people of the recommended level.
