Easy to apply
Easy to apply; got a quick response to email query; initially could not easily get a response to my query as online tool would not send and no one answered the phone. Had to email

Simply the best
Have had my traders insurance from CMTIA since I started doing craft stalls several years ago
It was recommended by a friend and I’ve been very happy with it.
Very quick and supportive when it’s renewal time and the level of cover gives me peace of mind.
I’m a very small hobbyist business but it’s worth every penny to me.

Very quick and easy to renew my insurance for this year. Renewal price was reasonable (not a huge increase from last year).

Food stall
We have used CMTIA for our catering insurance requirements and found the process clear and well structured. Documentation requirements were straightforward, and the certification aligns well with operating at events
