Comprehensive professional indemnity and public liability insurance removes risk for interior designers specifying premium lighting
London, UK, January 20206
BROKIS at EDC maintains comprehensive insurance coverage through QBE European Operations, ensuring interior designers can specify BROKIS lighting with confidence that their projects are protected.
The coverage includes £2 million public and products liability insurance and £500,000 professional indemnity insurance, with policies underwritten by Arthur J Gallagher and administered through QBE European Operations’ Media, Advertising & Communications Professional Combined policy.
Insurance that matches the projects
Interior designers working on residential projects face increasing insurance requirements from clients and project managers. When specifying lighting partners, designers need assurance that suppliers carry adequate coverage to protect against professional liability, product defects, and project-related risks.
BROKIS at EDC’s insurance coverage addresses these requirements directly:
Insurance that matches the projects
Covers errors, omissions, or negligent advice in professional services, including specification support, technical consultation, and project planning. Worldwide coverage (excluding USA and Canada) with a retroactive date of 12 January 2026.
Public and Products Liability Insurance: £2,000,000
Protects against claims arising from bodily injury or property damage caused by products or business operations, including lighting installations, deliveries, and on-site activities.
Legal Expenses Insurance: £100,000 per claim
Provides coverage for legal costs associated with contract disputes, employment matters, and regulatory compliance.
The combined coverage removes risk from interior designers when specifying BROKIS lighting for client projects, ensuring that if issues arise, adequate insurance protection exists beyond the designer’s own professional indemnity policy.
Why comprehensive insurance matters
Many UK lighting suppliers operate with minimal insurance coverage or rely on manufacturer policies that may not extend to UK-based specification support, project consultation, or delivery operations.
BROKIS at EDC operates as a dedicated UK partner with its own comprehensive insurance coverage, distinct from BROKIS manufacturing operations in the Czech Republic. This means UK-based designers have direct recourse to a UK-insured entity for the full scope of services — from initial specification through delivery and installation support.
For residential projects where clients increasingly require contractors and suppliers to demonstrate adequate insurance, BROKIS at EDC can provide certificates of insurance on request, streamlining project approval processes and reducing administrative burden for designers.
Coverage details available on request
Interior designers requiring insurance certificates for specific projects can request documentation directly from BROKIS at EDC. Certificates of insurance can typically be provided within 48 hours for project tender submissions or client approval processes.
The insurance policy is renewed annually and maintained continuously to ensure uninterrupted coverage for ongoing and new projects.
