In my experience, sole practitioners who have not yet taken steps to renew their professional indemnity insurance could be somewhat misled by your lead news item of 19 August, ‘Insurance boost for sole practitioners’

Prime Professions obtained a quote from Travelers for me which was about 10 times my premium last year, even though nothing had occurred in the year to give any cause for concern about my practice. Clearly, Travelers did not want the business and this makes one wonder if the comment about taking on three-quarters of sole practitioners currently insured by Quinn is accurate.
