We assume most companies that come into contact with the public, wherever they are based in the world, hold some form of Public Liability cover.
Public Liability insurance is one of the main kinds of commercial cover – it’s there to protect against the risks that come with dealing with members of the public, covering against accidents or damage to third parties, and it covers your business if a member of the public suffers death or injury, or if their property is damaged and your business is at fault.
Having this type of insurance will help cover compensation costs and legal expenses if a successful claim is made against you.
Whilst you may not be bringing any equipment yourselves, there’s still a risk that someone may trip over a chair, or accidentally damage a piece of equipment belonging to another sponsor etc, etc.
As event organisers, we require all sponsors to be aware of their responsibilities and general conduct, as this insurance is there to protect you as well as others.
If you have questions or any concerns, please contact our Logistics Manager Sharon Cowley:
