Broadcast Technicians (camera/light/sound)
Working as a broadcast technician, you can get general business insurance cover from any insurer. But there are good reasons for working with a specialist broker who understands the way you work and can provide specialist insurance.
The business of media and production involves some major implications for insurance. Many non-specialist insurers have fixed (and inaccurate) ideas about the industry – charging high premiums to protect themselves against the perceived high costs of delays and over-runs, unsociable hours and “high-risk” activities.
Production Portfolio covers all your risks under a single policy - avoiding expensive duplication and administration. Exclusively available through La Playa, our policy is underwritten by global giant Chubb Insurance - an award-winning company with first class underwriting knowledge and experience in this sector.
