Ok - here's the address :- Alpha Insurance Brokers, 208 Crest
Complex, Courteney Road, Gillingham, Kent ME8 ORX. It cost me Ł131
but that was for Ł5,000,000 public liability which I had to get for
my beach concession. Last year I had Ł1,000,000 public liability and
it was a lot cheaper. It is specifically for Henna Body Art, not
tattooists. I rang round a lot when I was starting out, most
wouldn't cover me, or quoted really high prices because they thought
it was tattooing. Hope that helps. :
