Hi Ladywishbone,
I can't reply to your PM for some reason. If you can PM jimbobp hes your best bet. Based on my experience I'd recommend speaking to him. Hopefully he can help you. Sorry to hear you're in this situation.
ETA: and just to add, with the help of an excellent broker we did get cover in the end through the UK and were able to stay in business so there is definitely hope
Does anyone know how I'd contact jimbobp in the real world these day
Thanks - I'll check that outHi Gringo, I had to secure a very tricky insurance product a couple of years ago and after trying over 10 other brokers this Aiken and Co in Ringsend finally sorted me out. They were able to get a specific policy written for my needs.
