    I have spent hours todat trying to arrange cover but all of the companies i contacted will
    only offer one or the other and not both

    They say they cannot cover me in my role
    Work is Field service role travelling from one location to another ( Mobile Telecoms )
    One Data Centre Get out of Car open door Fix Fault replace Hardware then leave
    on to the next site do the same etc etc
    No great Manual work involved

    Has anyone got any advice or contacts so i can get this sorted
    Nothing in there strikes me as being particularly difficult from either a PI or PL perspective. If it's minimal manual work it should fit within standard products. Feel free to PM me if you want any more info.
