We’re proud to be celebrating our 10 year anniversary, a huge landmark for everybody here at CraftCover! For a decade, we’ve been safeguarding your businesses and passion for crafting with a variety of craft insurance types.
Expertise meets a passion for craft
CraftCover began from a background of expertise in the insurance industry, under our parent company Walmsleys Commercial Insurance Brokers. We noticed a need for protection for crafters in the UK, as crafting is a niche filled with individual brilliance and unique talents, which is why we felt people’s talents and abilities needed to be protected legally.
Existing insurance policies were confusing and failed to effectively cover the needs of budding crafters. This, matched with a genuine interest and passion for crafts, prompted our founders to come up with a solution which was comprehensive and easy to manage – CraftCover!
By crafters, for crafters
CraftCover was built by our former project director, Allison Bellamy, thanks to her personal love for crafting and over 30 years experience in the insurance industry. From the very start, we’ve placed the emphasis around understanding the unique needs of small craft businesses and large craft businesses alike, providing public liability insurance specifically for the crafts industry.
Our insurance plans have always been designed to be simple and straightforward, allowing you to focus on being creative and brightening the world with your creations.
Many of our team members are crafters themselves, which is why we intrinsically understand the importance of protecting your work, and your craft business. Whether you specialise in textiles, jewellery crafting, or anything else, we understand the journey from start to finish, which is why we’ve always been able to provide insurance that genuinely protects businesses.
Looking to the future of CraftCover
We’re so pleased to have been able to provide hundreds of businesses of all sizes with protection for their passion. For 10 years, we’ve witnessed, and been part of, the major growth of the UK craft industry. We’re so proud to have played a part in this, allowing your craft businesses to flourish stress-free!
But we’re not done yet, we hope you’ll stay with us on our journey in continuing to provide comprehensive and convenient cover for crafters.
We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of those who have been part of this journey so far, whether you’ve trusted us with your insurance needs, members of staff, or anybody who’s interacted with our socials over the years. You might also have seen us featured in the Craft Focus magazine!
Here’s to the next decade of protecting creativity!
