Have you ever been turned down? Struggling to get a new policy due to the nature of my work.

Any recommendations?

No but what is the nature of your work?

Same. I can't get cover for my work* so I don't have any. I did have a policy for £30 a month then I realised it probably wasn't going to pay out if I tried to claim so cancelled it. It covered the "other" work I do such as benchmarking and performance improvements - but no-one will claim against me for that.

Try telling the indemnity insurance people when they ask you what you do "I spec, design, locate and manage the builds of warehouses costing >£300million". Then when they ask if your an architect say no, confuses the hell out of them.

They usually come back with some quote >£20k.

* At a realistic price
