Professional Saver Public Liability Insurance for Exhibition Designers


Our standard cover is:

  • £1 million cover for public and products liability (with an option to increase to £2 million, £5 million or £10 million)
  • £10,000 cover for any financial loss (£50K cover optional)
  • Worldwide liability cover for temporary work abroad for up to 14 days (excluding the USA and Canada)

As an exhibition designer, having insurance is crucial to protect you if someone gets injured or property gets damaged while you are working on shows and displays. Our public liability cover protects you if, for example, a visitor trips over your equipment during construction, leading to an injury claim.

Why Do Exhibition Designers Need Insurance?

As an exhibition designer, you oversee teams building intricate displays that host high visitor volumes. Any construction defects or creative oversight can easily cause accidents. For example, flawed lighting concepts could cause seizure issues.

Additionally, you rely on seamless project delivery to sustain your reputation with clients. Any venue damage, noise complaints, or construction delays caused by your team could harm your business without insurance to cover claims.

What Does Our Exhibition Design Insurance Cover?

Our cover can include:

Public Liability Insurance

Public liability insurance covers any injury or property damage caused by you or contractors while planning, building, or dismantling exhibitions and displays. For instance, your design specifications cause safety issues, leading to visitor accidents.

Professional Indemnity Insurance

This optional insurance provides protection if your designs or advice negatively impact a client’s event or exhibition. For example, flawed spatial planning restricts visitor capacity, which causes missed sales targets.

Legal Expenses Insurance

Legal expenses insurance pays lawyers’ costs to defend you if clients dispute your bill or allege issues like negligence.

Contents & Equipment Insurance

This optional cover will replace or repair items lost, stolen, or damaged during the exhibition design and build process. It covers all equipment, like laptops, cameras, and hard drives, holding creative work and plans.

We offer varying cover levels to choose from to fit your specific business needs. Simply fill out our quick online form for your quote.

FAQs

Exhibition Design Insurance FAQs

Exhibition designers oversee complex construction projects hosting thousands of visitors within strict deadlines. Any build issues or creative oversights can easily cause injuries, leading to substantial claims without adequate insurance.

We would cover scenarios such as:

  • A creative lighting scheme causes seizures or headaches for visitors
  • Unsafe flooring causes slips, trips, and falls, leading to injury claims
  • Construction noise disturbs neighbouring events and breaches contracts
  • Delays cause clients to lose income from lower event attendance

Our policies cover public liability, professional indemnity, and legal expenses costs arising from scenarios like these where clients face losses from exhibition oversight.

We cover all core exhibition services like:

  • Concept ideation and creative direction
  • Spatial design, graphic design, and visualisations
  • Venue planning and logistics management
  • Construction specifications, method statements, and safety planning
  • Management of all third-party contractors and suppliers

Most claims arising from accidents, delays, or oversight during the exhibition design and delivery process are covered.

Yes – our exhibition design insurance policies extend to cover any temporary personnel you bring in to help with construction, lighting, AV, and other specialist elements tied to shows and event displays. Both you and additional contributors operating under your business are protected.
