Was Ruskin talking about locum insurance?

Oct 21, 2015

We have seen eye-wateringly low locum insurance premiums in the past few weeks which, in our view, are simply not economically viable.

I was pondering this when I went to a networking meeting the other day and spoke to someone about his commercial buildings insurance. He shopped around at the last renewal and moved to one of the cheapest providers he could find.    He liked the premium,  was signed up quickly and all went swimmingly until he had to claim.

That’s when he came unstuck.
