if the brolly standard insurance is too low, take supplementary insurance (pay the brolly a bit more).
the client can do what they like, as you should know by now.
you're the one closest to them.
maybe you're overthinking it? -

Ok. Not done umbrella for so long that I didn't know if they'd uplift their insurances for a pernickety client.
Yes, most likely I am overthinking. I have a habit of swinging between overanalysis and ah, feck it.Comment

i don't know that the brolly can up the cover, but they should be able to.
they'll have a bulk arrangement with the insurer.
they want the business, best to pick your own brolly, if poss, use Lucy maybe?.
remember this first rule.

If the agency/client want a higher level of insurance, then the umbrella can speak to their insurers to increase it in your specific instance. It doesn't even have to be a change across the board. Insurers may increase it without a charge.
I've had to do this in the past for certain contractors.
Thanks
