Quinn Direct - Irish based. different opinions as to quality of cover, service and claims procedure.
Eagle Star - part of the Zurich group. Good service
ARB - Lloyds syndicate. No problems with cover, but they could decide to pull out next year.
With all companies when you ar echanging insurer, make sure that the cover you are buying is at least equal to the insurer you are leaving. Virtually all companies have a Employer Liability limot of €13m. however, given that you are a woodworking risk, there may be certain exclusions, warranties or conditions applying to yoru current policy. Make sure that you are not getting a cheaper price, for less or more restrictive cover which could leave YOU, the employer liable and the insurer not covering the loss.
Limits under Public Liability can vary from €1m to €5m.
Price is not necessarily the only driving force you should consider.
