I have just returned to my old trade after a 6 month trial of employed work. It wasn’t for me. I called up Trade Direct Insurance for all my public liability insurance needs & I’m happy to report it was as easy to set up as putting on my favourite pair of slippers after a hard days work. Many thanks TDI.
