Hi, again

We've decided to opt for G M Imber and Sons Ltd - CraftInsure Starter policy. Their cover seems to be exactly what we were looking for.

Thought I'd post this for the benefit of anyone else who's looking around for insurance at the minute.

An update! Despite advertising the above policy as being designed for craft traders domiciled in the UK, G M Imber and Sons phoned me today to tell me that they cannot offer cover for those of us who live in Northern Ireland.

Hi everyone,

Just joined this forum! I make greeting cards and other bits and bobs and was wondering if anyone can offer advice on insurance. I only do the very odd craft fair, primary schools when I can get in and that's about it. Should I have insurance? I didn't want to pay so much for about 3 fairs a year!?

And anyone know where to get greeting card display stands? they are so expensive everywhere I've looked and the cardboard ones aren't great.

Thanks in advance

This is who I have my insurance with combined Market traders insurance association tel 020 85008489 or 02085545273 £48

some places insist on you having insurance and will not let you have a stand without and others dont ask for it, i dont think schools ask for it so you probably would not need it but its up to yourself, its only £48 for the year so not too expensive to have a back up :-)
